Brexit Dramarama

Election is deffo on the cards by some: https://www.thenational.scot/news/17544926.general-election-scot-tory-leaflets-delivered-across-scotland/?fbclid=IwAR1djgXWdC014ul9D9D16up8IeKUWfUQS9nK9nItkOFtjGl21S6Sp9w82Z4

NOTE its just for information not a view point.. Is there any better sources:

I quite enjoyed switching over to the News Channel to find that within minutes, the documentary was out of date as the Commons had rejected everything again...

A strange editorial decision by the BBC -- unless it also introduces the Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, etc., as "right-wing":

So it now seems to be form on BBC news for the @guardian to be introduced as a ‘left wing’ paper. Strange because (a) it’s not, it’s centrist if anything, and (b) I don’t catch other papers being introduced as ‘right wing’. Did you notice this just now ⁦@DawnHFoster⁩ ? pic.twitter.com/eyPuOvTS3G

I'm not sure why David Hendy says it's a "centrist" newspaper - plenty from within The Guardian have said it's centre left or left of centre and that its editorial staff were largely sympathetic towards Venezuela. And let's not forget its support of Labour in 2015 and 2017.

But still -- should it be introduced as "left-wing" when the others aren't introduced as "right-wing"? Or perhaps they are now described that way?

What context did he say it? Yes the Mail and Telegraph have been described as right wing when drawing a comparison to the Guardian in the past.
Such a nonsense post. You'd have to be a communist to think the Guardian as centrist.

The right of paper centres have previously been referred to collectively as the right wing papers so occasional references to the guardian being left wing are perfectly fine. This is only noticeable as for too long the BBC has often wrongly used the opinions of the Guardian to influence their editorial position.

It has? Unlike The Guardian, the BBC doesn't strike me as anti-Brexit at all, to look at just one controversial current issue. Many people on my Twitter timeline believe that the BBC has given Brexiteers and their ill-conceived plans an easy ride.

Also, does the BBC really use the phrase "right-wing press"?

In any case, I think this reply raises a valid point:

My jaw hit the floor when she introduced the columnist and added/emphasised/pointed out it was a 'left wing' paper.
I'm not against it if it is done to everyone in every interview because then the public will see how our media is mainly Right Wing.

I wasn't commenting on that (I think whatever they do it should be consistent), I think it's better than doing what David Hendy did and pretending they're centrist.

Potentially good news, frazzled SW1 types: Tory whips are telling MPs this afternoon that they don't have to be here on Friday: ie there won't be another round of meaningful/meaningless/indicative votes

Possibly no special programes on Friday as the commons wont be sitting. Could be important votes tommrow through - wont know until commons adjourns tonight.

for guaranteed chaos with @PhilipHammondUK @tom_watson and @SteveBakerHW. As I say all on ITV and here on Twitter, via @ITVpeston, at 10.45. Oh and there may be snow

But there is very likely to be crucial votes at 22.00 so might not be any MP's in the studio for 22.45.

I wonder if they'll do it on ITN's stand at College green? "There may be snow".
