Alan Sugar was tweeting against the unions just before Christmas. The Apprentice is still airing. Karren Brady is a Tory Peer and she is on the show with him.

BBC News Presenters should be impartial on Twitter. Everyone else should be judged on how relevant their politicisation is to their role at the BBC. Otherwise, does it extend to presenters of Strictly Come Dancing? What about documentaries? Does Brian Cox need to be politically neutral on Twitter lest his science shows are brought into disruption?
