Newsnight 'jungle' set sparks ridicule on Twitter Leonie Green said: "Truly bizarre tropical set on #newsnight @iankatz1000?! A recreation of the UK's steaming mangroves 4 when CO2 reaches Eocene levels again? Newsnight editor Ian Katz admitted that the Twitter consensus seemed to be that the greenhouse set was a "bit more jungle than conservatory." He also said the "foliage [was] a bit out of control." Mr Katz explained that the programme was trying to dramatise the 'conservatory test', which will see Ed Miliband trying to win the support of middle England - essentially, people who would like conservatories. He explained: "We are trying to dramatise the so-called "conservatory test" - can Miliband win middle England (people with conservatories." It comes weeks after Mr Katz was forced to apologise after he accidentally sent a message to his 26,000 Twitter followers describing a Labour MP who appeared on the show as "boring." Mr Katz, who was only in his second week of the job at the time, revealed his thoughts on Labour shadow cabinet minister Rachel Reeves when he mistakenly sent out a public message on Twitter instead of a private missive. The message, which was soon deleted, was posted in response to a comment about the programme. He said: "Tnks ... except for boring snoring Rachel reeves ... playout was fun tho, wasn't it?" he said. telly MUCH netter (sic) than snooooozepapers innit." Monday's Newsnight featured Gordon Brown's ex-spin doctor Damian McBride, who was also interviewed among the foliage in the conservatory. Mr Stewart said: "Top of the list for the BBC Trust's review of news should be the distracting, indulgent, vacuous use of gimmicks," he said.
