After the Brexit vote, the Leave side stopped campaigning – and this was a massive error. It has allowed Brexit to be defined by its enemies. Sure, the forecasts of an immediate recession didn’t come to pass. But that has made the publications who predicted it even more angry, and determined to portray it as a disaster. The human need for vindication has created a new media bias in … Continue reading →

Here we go, a new Open Thread on which to detail the egregious bias of the State Broadcaster.

Young people fear for futures in Brexit Britain, says study More than two-thirds of young people in the UK have … Continue reading →

Yesterday we analysed Robert Peston’s relentlessly negative Twitter feed, categorising his tweets as having either a positive sentiment about Brexit (not many), a negative sentiment about Brexit (82%), … Continue reading →
