Did anyone ask the voters what % of the blame they’d apportion to themselves?

The Today programme on Radio 4 is a joke
Take Johnson’s interview last week for instance - I’d say he got more intense interrogations when he stopped by Jennifer Arcuri’s flat
John Humphrys has just retired but was hopelessly pro-Brexit and hopelessly incompetent in terms of basic understanding of the mechanisms of the EU
Either that, or he was just a straight up liar and propagandist
He even admitted to routinely doing no research
I loved the Daily Telegraph/ComRes poll from July 1914
“Who is to blame for us not having gone to war yet?”
Sky News have been the straightest on Brexit. Interestingly though they’ve lost a couple of their best correspondents to the BBC in recent months.
Channel 4 is Channel 4 and just talks to an audience already anti Brexit.
Faisal Islam is wasted at the BBC
It’s like if Manchester United signed Frenkie de Jong and only picked him for League Cup games, because Fred (Tory Kuennsberg) is first choice
Channel 4 News is comfortably the best news programme available on British Isles screens
Krishnan Guru-Murthy is the best interviewer on British TV
So of course Brexiteers and right-wing crackpots don’t watch it
It doesn’t provide confirmation bias for them
It’s not a coincidence that journalists from ethnic minority backgrounds tend to be best on the issue of Brexit
Who did they lose to the BBC?
I enjoy Nick from Newsnight. He’s the new Robert Peston.
This absolute nerd Tony Connelly. “Collapsing the scrum.”
This is the problem with Peston as well and it’s a problem across UK media
It’s no there have been 378 breathless front page stories claiming a “breakthrough” in Britain’s favour over the last few years, all 378 completely wrong
This is going to become quite nasty now. The UK relationship with EU is not going to be cordial for the short to medium term. We’re headed for a recession off the back of this but the UK are about to drive their economy off a Cliff.
Seems to be a twin track approach from the Brits. Westminster concentrates it’s attacks directly on Brussels while the DUP seem to be tasked with firing scuds at Dublin at every opportunity
This is why satire has vanished from British television
Apart from the Royal Family obviously.
And probably take is with us them.
While it’s become more and more likely all the time, I still don’t think there’ll be a hard Brexit at the end of the month
No most likely an extension but the Tories will win a majority in the GE on a Brexit mandate and then all bets are off.
Yeah the hardening of positions is not good for us at all.
Amen to that. Drivel of the lowest common denominator.
Predicting a GE at this point is impossible.
What is likely to happen though is that the Conservatives will lose all of their 13 Scottish seats.
One area of potential control is for SF to drop out of Westminister elections if they still refuse to take their seats. I don’t imagine they will but pressure should be put on them to step aside or take their seats.
Why dont he SDLP take their seats at Westminster?
