News and political departments captured by Murdoch/Tufton/Spectator long ago. Sadly.

The bastard child of The One Show and Tufton Street. Getting a straight answer is hard enough but can't even get a straight question now.

The little Daily Mail as it's known in this house.
Ask of every journalist, who pays you?
What aren't you allowed to say?

Blue Robbo is never going to change.

Not being sarcastic. I do hope you're right. Judging from Reform and Tommy Robinson crowds the average age is 50 plus. Let's hope for the best, plan for the worst.

I think former members of Your Party may disagree with you there.
For me, people are people. I know decent people on the right and left. But also bad. Life is nuanced isn't it?

Maybe. We all know why Gibb is there. Any and all levers should be pulled to remove him and other Tory plants. I'd love Starmer to show the same ruthless streak he's shown the left to people outside the Labour party.

Once again Ed. It all sounds terribly nice. Very avuncular. Parish council type approach. If the opposition aren't playing by The Queensbury Rules why should we? Johnson did pretty much what he wanted and got away with most of it.

Decades in grass roots political organisations. As for oligarchs. It's just rich people, they don't need to be billionaires. I've been up close to combat 18 and the far left in Liverpool in the 80s.

It could be done. It should be done. Classic victim mentality to think resistance will lead to worse treatment.

I hope you're right.
Serious doubts myself.

True. No chance of honest media with people like that at the top.

Nick Robinson is just Nick Ferrari with a higher IQ.

Yeah. Saw Gibb and Shah. We've no chance of balance with people like this at the helm.
