    I believe some of the coverage of resent events have been lets say a little bias, Emily Maitlis comment the other day was typical when your giving information to viewers you really should be telling them the facts not her interpretation.
    Emily introduced Tuesday's show by saying the prime minister's chief adviser had "broken the rules" and "the country can see that, and it's shocked the government cannot".

    Had he ?, the police looked into the matter when many were happy to jump on the band wagon and hoped he got prosecuted which he didn't, now we have some calling for the Durham constabulary to be investigated.
    I thought the cartoon was rather whimsical Boris saying what he'd had for breakfast and Laura's interpretation, even in these dark times we shouldn't lose our sense of humour.

    Next up..Labour MP Rosie Duffield who criticised some people in her constituency for breaking lockdown rules and now admits to breaking lockdown rules herself with her married lover.

    Keir Starmer has refused to comment so far. He was quick to condemn Cummings and demand his sacking though wasnt he

    That is an excellent point and well put.

    Yes she has broken the rules. It is disgraceful and she needs to be held to account.

    I see that she has:
    • Resigned
    • Apologised
    That doesn’t make it right, but at least she has acknowledged that she broke the rules and has taken the appropriate action. https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/labour-whip-rosie-duffield-resigns-after-breaking-lockdown-rules-to-meet-up-with-partner

    Now the architect of the rules, remains in place, totally unrepentant and this is what is really galls.

    He doesn’t have the necessary personal skills to see that his actions were wrong, and that he should go.

    So yes Rosie Duffield has done the correct thing, whereas Cummings, with contempt for the ordinary member of the public, continues to give advice to the Prime Minister!

    I'm not sure I understand what that really means. But if you mean the BBC has a natural left wing bias on the news reporting side, I suggest you investigate a little further. There are some key presenters at the BBC whose allegiances lean towards the Tory party and not the Labour party. Of the high profile ones, these include Nick Robinson, Andrew Neal and yes, Laura Kuenssberg. One of those was in the Remain camp and two were in favour of Leave. There are of course others who lean in the opposite direction such as Andrew Marr and Emily Maitlis. Collectively, their own political leanings however doesn't stop any of them from challenging politicians of all shades.

    Correct. I remember Guto Harri, went from the BBC to work for a certain Mr Johnson! You can add a number of others such as Robbie Gibb, and Craig Oliver, who acted as advisors to Cameron.
    Quite frankly it is ridiculous to say that the BBC, as an institution, leans one way or the other.

    The frankly it is ridiculous is in season @Bigrod@Bigrod - see our politicians, our society and our culture.

    Normal Service Will Be Resumed is still a long way off methinks.
