    Not sure how the mechanics of this could happen, although it would be a better pairing for sure.

    You don’t have to watch it religiously to know what content they’re putting out. Look at the sort of absolute nonces they’re employing.

    As I say, I've never watched it, but I remember Stainsey saying that the debates were always very evenly matched, with viewpoints from all sides.

    I've no doubt that the majority of its viewers are right leaning.

    Really is. And there are Tory Party members who will be outraged if Truss does another U turn, even though it's clear her "borrow to cut tax" policy is dead in the water

    We dont. But it would be like saying the guardian is predominantly read by nationalists and patriots who were for brexit

    Of course not all people who watch gb news is right wing/tory but you wouldnt bet against it being 50% +

    There would have to be agreement in all camps of the Parliamentary Party. Then it goes out to the members with one choice on the ballot!

    You mean like Gloria del Piero, ex Labour MP, who has the prime midday slot? Or Paul Embery ex fire fighter and trade union activist?

    Then they ought to get on with it.
    Truss is dead meat.

    The stupid thing is that, I quite liked a lot of the content in the mini-budget, but it's very clear that it shouldn't have all been proposed at once, demonstrating complete ignorance both monetarily and politically.

    This lot deserve to be booted out, but I have little confidence that anyone will be very much more competent, such is the dearth of political talent.

    Yes, probably is over 50%, whereas the BBC is 95% Labour or Lib Dem. As Col had heard, there is always good balance to the arguments.

    I was quoting Stainsey. I've never seen it.

    The fact is, on the economy, Sunak had it right during the leadership campaign. Truss got it wrong. Sunak must be sitting at him gnawing his knuckles. I'd back him now.

    I was thinking more Neil, Farage, Darren ****ing Grimes, Dan Wooton, Neil Oliver and Eamonn Holmes, patriotically led from Dubai.

    My sister lives in Frome - she is terminally ill - the treatment she has received has been outstanding,

    A good friend of mine has a similar illness, can’t say the same about the treatment he is receiving here.

    My post duly amended! De Piero is actually good. So is Alistair Stewart.

    Neil hasn't been on for over a year. Farage, sure, right wing and focused on illegal immigration. Grimes, yes, right wing. Wooton always has a mix of guests, so the left wing case is made. From what I've heard of Eamonn Holmes, he's pretty much down the middle.
