Do you not reognise lies , deception and half truths from within the Labour party ??
All of which has virtually nothing to do with what I wrote, but when you've got nothing worthwhile to say on a subject, you can always fall back on your old faithful "ah, but what about the Labour party?" can't you.
I'm pleased, and somewhat surprised, to see that the BBC have declined an attempt by No. 10 for Johnson to appear on Andrew Marr's show tomorrow unless he agrees to an interview with Andrew Neil.

Following yesterdays terrorist attack, according to the Guardian the BBC are now letting Boris appear on the Andrew Marr show because they say it is in the public interest.
Labour aren't happy!

Fair an equal treatment by the media?
Re: More evidence of BBC right wing bias ?
The BBC have given the Tories a slap over their latest dishonest stunt:

When they get on the wrong side of the BBC and Facebook.... !
Re: More evidence of BBC right wing bias ?
Interesting read which maintains the BBC have been biased towards the Torys during this campaign, but, historically, they have a tendency to favour the Government of the day;-

It is conservative with a small 'c' as well as Conservative (or Blairite) with a big 'C'.
Re: More evidence of BBC right wing bias ?
We can ping pong on articles and BBC bias until the cows come home . No one is convincing anyone on this argument just look at the uninteresting posters who dont join in .

Is that how major political commitments three days before an election that were not in the manifesto work?
So is it something that they committed to or something that Cummings just thought up as a jolly wheeze or because Johnson lost the empathy gene when looking at a 4 year old on a hospital floor?
Re: More evidence of BBC right wing bias ?
So once again Kuenssberg peddles more Tory lies. This time senior Tories say Hancock’s adviser was punched by a Labour activist. She has now apologised but nah that’s not good enough. She is nothing more than a Tory mouthpiece. She had no investigative skills whatsoever.
She should name these senior Tories that lied.

I know image political parties chucking in stuff at the death, that wasn't in thier manifesto, but they thought it might make political capital out of it 🙄

I don't think any of us know what is going on but I know for sure if I had the profile of peston and someone put me in a situation where I had to make an embarrassing climbdown by feeding me bullshit I would a) name them and b) never listen to a word they or their pals say ever again.

That Peston is guilty as Kuenssberg of a knee jerk compliant reaction when they are passed what turns out to be incorrect information by "senior Conservative sources".
