Kerching! Theresa May has trousered another £96,000 for a speech to Pricewaterhouse Coopers... takes her post-PM earnings to half a million quid

Chicken feed compared to what Meghan and Harry are earning from the big American merchant banks for doing nothing but trade on a dead woman's memory
 
Do we have to ensure there’s enough Leavers on every show to stop other Leavers crying about it for the rest of time?


Thought politics had more than one issue? Also surely how they voted doesn't prevent them from implementing the UK leaving (which has already happened) otherwise ermmmm... we need a new Prime Minister. We do need Farage on more he's never on.
 
You need balance in the show, which the BBC understands but is determined to ignore. Brexit is highly significant to this debate, yet all those chosen were of the same Remain mindset.

You won though and people are still determined to eat their **** sandwich. The Beeb totally failed to grill the Tories during the last election over Brexit or anything else so really don’t get why this show in particular is so important. The sort of thick ****s who haven’t got a clue what they vote for won’t be watching either way but you might be lucky enough to have a Tory plant or £80k bottom quartile self-employed Brexit and proud van bloke in the audience.

The show matters first because people are forced to pay £154 a year for it and others.

There was plenty of BBC Brexit grilling on tv and radio for 3 years, and it all came BBC interviewers with a Remain stance (because there aren't any other types of BBC interviewers). Boris didn't choose to do Andrew Neil, but he was regularly on Marr's show.

Doesn't matter about QT viewing figures (just under 3 million) or all the people you think are thick because they don't vote for the party you support, if there's a debate on the national news channel about breaking the Union up, which is what the SNP want to do (when they're not abusing women or kiddie fiddling), it should be balanced.

The BBC have given up on balance, and are much more interested in propaganda.

Its always been a propaganda machine. You just don't like it this time because you think it's against your beliefs

I wouldn’t even go that far. They were painfully neutral on Brexit, not challenging blatant lies and hosting loudmouth morons in the name of balance with no facts behind them in order to not upset the snowflakes who in their originality and wit have all turned on the BBC this week under instruction from the puppet master.
