Summer is melting into Autumn and that means the return of Question Time. It kicks off on September 16th and it will be an ALL Labour panel. So, no change there then.When I sat this photo I assumed it was a gathering of the QT production team but it appears these people may harbour political ambitions! Anyway, we will be liveblogging this for the new season and I hope YOU … Continue reading
If you were thinking that you seem to have seen a lot of Labour MPs on Newsnight recently, well you have. Here is a list of all the UK politicians who have appeared on Newsnight this month, whether as interviewees or as ‘talking heads’ in reports. (Duplicated names mean appearances in more than one edition!): Conservatives: Cllr Gavin Elsey (who opposes the government’s immigation cap!), Damian Green, Mark Hoban, Nadine … Continue reading
Did you see that BBC Director General Mark Thompson has used his Edinburgh TV festival (Where else, natch?) speech to hit back at the corporation’s critics. He accepted the need for “radical change” in the corporation but rejected calls for the licence fee to be cut. Why?

The BBC has broadcast 4 programmes whitewashing Muslim extremism….omitting important facts whilst elevating others to undue prominence in the name of community peace and harmony. Programmes … Continue reading
In the prime post 8am news slot, Today ran an item on the famine that afflicts the African nation of Niger.Mike Thomson explained the woes that the inhabitants of this country face with first drought and then flood causing endless misery. However I was struck by the fact that Mike mentioned, in passing, that despite being the poorest country in the world it has a booming population. Howe odd. He … Continue reading
Martin Narey from Barnados seems a permanent fixture on the BBC these days and it is clear that his radical socialist views chime with those held bythe State Broadcaster. A favourite BBC trick is to invite the favoured interviewee into the Studio whilst the opponent languishes on the end of a phone line. So it was that Narey was in the studio this morning whilst David Green of Civitas was … Continue reading
