Nick Robinson accuses the BBC of anti-Corbyn bias

Rule 1, when trying to counter accusations of bias, best not to use such a heavily biased rag like The Canary

 

Anyway, in other Labour news:

Do you think it was fake news and that Nick Robinson (A founder member of the Macclesfield Young Conservatives and president of the Oxford University Conservative Association in his youth) didn't accuse the BBC of anti-Corbyn bias?

The Labour party claims that its policies will save the average family £6700 per year

However,  it would appear that they've let Diane Abbott loose with the calculator again.

But they are giving the facts, its not an opinion, its irrelevant from what source where the facts come from

The lady on Question Time last night spoke for many when she said she was a Labour voter but couldn't vote for them this time for ignoring the referendum result.

Newsnight  were in Wakefield last night, and interviewed several people, who had voted Labour all their life. A lot said they'd be voting Tory. One chap even said that his parents would be turning in their graves if he voted  Tory, but for the first time in his life he felt he had to.

Yeah, i believe its a massive miscalculation on Corbyns part, this is the one issue i dont agree with, we have had a vote, we dont need another one, he should go along with the vote and damn the consequences, but unfortunately we will end up with another five years of Doris, and who knows what damage he will do, the country will be in a right old mess, the NHS will be gone, there will be more people dying on the streets, the rich will get richer and the poor will be poorer. and what about workers rights?
