The BBC is under fire for relegating its women presenters to the wrong end of the sofa.

Dishy new BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker has been given pride of place by being seated left of screen alongside his more senior co-star Louise Minchin. (Something to do with the fact we read from left to right).

Twitter is predictably ablaze with outrage at this sexist slight.

Normal people neither know nor care. Not so former Labour MP and Channel 4 ‘diversity exec’ Oona King, who detected “low level sexism”.

Almost all BBC wimmin are on the Left. Let’s pile them high and watch the sofas crumple.
