Just watched Felicity Evan's BBC Wales political editor on Politics Live, she clearly has an anti Tory agenda and seems determined to keep ploughing the rape case issue, despite the Welsh Secretary resigning.
I think it would be a good idea for all media journalists to declare their political interest so that viewers can weigh how much their reports might be influenced by their views, since they can no longer be trusted not to show a bias.

You want to try listening to James O'brien on LBC John.
He's on a one man anti Tory crusade.

To be fair, he doesn't try to pretend to be neutral.

I lean to the left but even I think he is somewhat OTT.

Shooting the messenger, John IMHO is not to be recommended.

Barney I like LBC and given that JR Mogg , Mr Farage and that Ferrari bloke all I have a spot the balance is a tad to the right. Oh I confess to finding James O'Brian entertaining

Nothing on the thread re J R Mogg and Budgens Grenfell pronouncements. Interesting!

Not advocating shooting them Ray, but highlighting their political allegiance might neutralise some of their reporting.
Incidentally Both DW and I thought JRM's comments about Grenfell were unfairly characterised as insulting and insensitive, maybe he should not have mentioned common sense, but that's the only bit that was a bit iffy.

I thought that Louise ( of Dan & Louise ) on BBC's Breakfast show this morning was a pain in the butt. She seemed to be pushing the nice Tory chappy into saying that Mr Mogg should resign because of his pronouncements.

Why would that be apart from generating one's own news story ?

JRG said, after reading the GT report, that it would have made sense to him to have ignored the advice from the Fire Brigade and to have gotten out of the building as soon as possible. Interestingly a chap said exactly the same thing on yesterday Show and in doing so his life as a resident of GT was spared. No fuss was raised by Louise when he said it …. BBC bias at work was my thought.

Perhaps he could have phrased it a little better but Moggy makes an excellent point.

Many of those unfurtunte victims could have saved their lives had they acted on their own instinct and got themselves out of the burning building......They were in high rise flats for gawd sake!

Once the criticism has died down he should be praised for heightening people's awareness of how you should react in what are genrally "Every man for himself" situations.

So, shock horror Berko declares Brexit was a mistake. You'd have never thought he felt so, to watch his unfailingly impartial chairmanship of the Commons. Thank heavens he's now history.

I agree Keith. But typical of the media, blow it all out of proportion.

Your natural instinct should tell you to get out. If the unthinkable happens at least you have tried rather than just waiting listening to the flames getting nearer.

Well, well, it appears that my views are as out of sinc with the contributors on this thread as they were on the Brexit thread. Maybe that is why I don't get notifications of any posts?

The promises that you can make when you stand no chance of being the new Government - Green Party to invest £100 billion a year for the next 10 years to make the country carbon neutral! Have they said where all this money will be coming from?

[Mervyn and Trish]

The money trees.

I thought I heard them say 10% from increased taxes. The other 90% would be borrowed.
