More likely parachuted in as head of BBC news and current affairs.

Why exactly do you think Cummings is targeting ‘red wall’ Labour working class areas? Who in those areas are deserting Labour? What messages is he running to motivate/trigger them?
You will obviously hate to admit it, as to be honest do I, but I am pretty certain my analysis is correct here! It will be proven late-on Thursday.

Perhaps Neil should be in the audience asking questions from there?

Actually it would probably be enough for him to be in the audience front row centre.

There may be more posts after this.
Given a large number of undecided voters who can flip flop between parties (43% in 2015) it is not the minutiae of manifesto promises that can persuade them at the last minute, but a more direct and straightforward message, Johnson is a liar and a coward!

I hope Corbyn gave his parents a right ticking off.

I thought Dominic Cummings was already in charge?...

If there is one thing that we learnt from the last two elections is that in these volatile and uncertain times, applying a narrative can very often lead one astray.

What time was that, roughly? Wouldn't mind hearing it, but would rather avoid listening to the rest of the programme to get to it.

1.20 ish...There was also a rather suspicious fumble "oh I lost my way" during the report on the Brexit document revelations...
There was a piece on Victoria Derbyshire about the online campaigns that showed equivalence between Labour/Corbyn ad on the CocaCola lorry as being taken down for copyright reasons followed by the far more dangerous and misleading Tory BBC news edits..it stinks.

As I was driving yesterday afternoon, I listened to NPR’s daily broadcast of BBC America.
The interviewer was talking to what sounded like some elderly voters. When asked if they were concerned about the economic downside predictions for Brexit, they dismissed it as propaganda created to convince naive young people into voting for Remain. When asked if that propaganda included the current government’s own figures, they launched into “you can’t trust ANY politician”, just get it done, and so on.
That part of the broadcast was predictable, but what followed was the reporter talking about how large numbers of younger voters are now planning to vote Conservative. No sources were cited that I heard, but he described it as a movement. Had it not been for reading about the current BBC bias here, I would have been dismayed, if not shocked, by this reporting. Or, heaven forbid, is there some truth to this? Hope not.

I'm aware that such as private education has its pluses and minuses but I know SWMBO ended up having heated exchanges on a certain horsey forum from one poster who suggested they couldn't afford to send their kids to a private school - SWMBO pointed out that if they gave up their twice a year expensive holidays and replacing their upmarket expensive Range Rover/ BMW every two years they'd have plenty of money available.
Who has done more for society on balance? Things are rarely clear cut.
