So, wins the next election? It should be Labour but I think another hung parliament, one way or the other is the most likely outcome.
I agree I saw a test where they put labour policies and things corbyn had said to a blind panel and they overwhelmingly agreed with them. Until told it was labour and corbyn. Puzzles me still why they can't see they are not voting for the people they actually agree with ..

Tory bias? How far to the left are you when you see blatant left-wing allegiance as Tory Bias?

BBC is an odd bod really if you are left you see right bias if you are right you see left bias, I think it must depend what programmes you actually watch and the entire entity is probably really in the middle.

I've known people say LBC is brexit but several presenters I can no longer listen to as they are so remain it's painful.

Of course they did. Compo is a very clever chap. He promises everything that people want.

But do you really think that he can ever deliver any of those things? The truth is, despite his claims, that he doesn't really have a magic money tree.

Look at Laura Kuennsberg's interviewing of Tories vs her interviewing of Labour. Look at the imbalance on every Question Time panel. Look at Andrew Neill. Look at the BBC's referring to shadowy right wing lobby groups as perfectly valid think tanks.
The mistake the hard of thinking right makes is that when the BBC does report from, the centre, for balance (an increasingly rare event), it appears to be biased from any extreme position.
