Well. The electoral commission see it as it is. Someone’s broken the law to influence the election tomorrow. She just happens to be the bbcs political editor. Weeks of this from her though. Exposed as Tory /Dominic Cummings’ mouthpiece

A moratorium on all election coverage kicks in at midnight and stays in place til 10pm tomorrow. This by her is probably worse than breaking that given the rules and her blatant bias the past months.

The discussion in this thread quotes election guidelines - whether we think it’s a big deal or not, she’s in violation of them. And a person with such a high and influential political journalism position should not be breaking reporting guidelines.
