More or less but when you look at happened in our closest comparable countries US, Germany, France and Italy the pattern was startlingly similar until the Brexit changes actually started to hurt as a result the UK has been slower to recover.

Completely agree - esp with the Lineker comment. The Tories fall over themselves having a go at BBC impartiality when someone who introduces football matches criticises the impact of government policy, but seem OK with Kuensberg et al and in the past people like Andrew Neil & former conservatives having senior roles within the BBC.

I look forward to the Ofcom reprimand. Oh wait, they're from the same rotten cabal of spineless bootlickers.

don't let facts get in the way

It's not 'the governments own budgetary department' though, it's the civil service, and they're mostly incompetent, lazy and (as you should have gleaned from the aforementioned) globalist left wing ideologues. Just like Sunak, tragically for the UK.

Of course its not difficult. Most other European countries suffer just as much from these factors, in some cases even more like German industry getting cut off from Russian gas. But hey, the show is obviously running on its last legs when Dorries is invited as guest.

@rocketscience4516 To say Brexit was never impliment because the Tories along with their civil servants were remainers I would love to see what part of thin air they plucked those numbers from. Especially since we are still waiting for Brexit.

@EllieMaes-Grandad Get real. Kuenssberg is a Tory Shill. Her blatent\' support for the Tories when she's supposed to be impartial is well known.

And then there is Portillo. Doing his rail travel prog on the BBC, then delivering his political opinion on another channel. Not that he should not be allowed to that, but I don't remember the trolls demanding that Portillo be sacked.

Its only politcal when you disagree with Tory policy.

In a word, no. This embarrasingly Tory duo of Laura K and former Young Tory President Robinson will be presenting Election Night on the BBC. I'll be watching the events elsewhere.

No surprise really. Also hardly any investigative journalism. BBC just don't hold the Tories to account. Plays an important role in our alleged democracy. Vast majority of the print media don't bother either.

@@nagoranerides3150 first pass the post is democracy? Uk is an oligarchy

@@billykotsos4642 Well, I know where you're coming from but as the years roll by I find myself less convinced that the various PRs are really a solution. The oligarchies are the political parties, really. The entrenchment of influence and patronage that they represent is the real problem with current Western Democracy. It's ultimately based on a Roman model and of course the Roman model rather famously collapsed into the Roman Imperial system - which is where Trump is trying to go. I want something much more direct. But while we were in the EU there's not really a point in voting at all because the European Parliament has no power worth speaking of. In the UK I can at least vote against the Tory bastards and for anyone that looks like they might move us towards reform (not Reform, of course - that's regression overdrive). It does mean taking the risk that the vote won't go my way. But that's democracy. It's OUR responsibility and OUR fault if we vote in assholes. In the EU nobody has any responsibility and no one cares. The banks run the show with some input from a handful of commissioners who are easy to bribe. If people vote "the wrong way" then they are told to vote again or simply ignored. And it had a knock-on effect - political parties could (sometimes justifiably) pass the buck to the EU. "We would love to sort this out but the EU won't let us"... Well, that excuse has gone too and the Tories are seeing the result of continuing to allow fuckwits and halfwits lead them without that shied to deflect the blame. So, yeah, maybe the economy is 5% down or whatever. That's a price I'm happy to pay if it flushes the political stables out.
