Spectator columnist Steven Barratt posted to X: "Impartiality' may not be in the best of health at the BBC…"

Another user Chris Rose posted: "This post alone is bad enough but even worse when you remember that David is a BBC presenter."

About 90 minutes after posting the controversial statement, Aaronovitch deleted it and posted: "There’s now a far right pile on suggesting that my tweet about the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity is an incitement to violence when it’s plainly a satire. So I’m deleting it. If nothing else though it’s given me a map of some the daftest people on this site."

The BBC has been approached for comment, per the Daily Mail.
