Consciously admitting you trust a source and unconsciously being influenced by it are very different things.
Westminster Politics

That's unusually pointed for an official BBC comment
Not that it's unwarranted.Ouch!
Why wouldn't you trust the FT?
It's not that people don't trust it, it's just that they were asked to pick one source and presumably very few opted for it.

This would go some way to explain why Brexit hasn't shit the bed yet. People don't think it will impact them personally.
Rees-Mogg's now the favourite among many bookmakers to be the next Tory leader.
No shit.
Rees-Mogg v Corbyn... would certainly be a spectacle.
It'd be some sight seeing PM Corbyn urge an opposition leader to resign due to being too disliked and a fringe element of his own party.
Almost the perfect essence of right vs left or conservative vs progressive.
The feck...Kezia Dugdale going on I'm a Celebrity?
Good lord. Quitting as an MSP?The feck...Kezia Dugdale going on I'm a Celebrity?
Nah, they just had to draft in a last minute replacement for Mugabe.
In all seriousness though...I can see her chucking it. Holyrood's probably taken its toll on her. With a lot of people suggesting Leonard will become leader she may feel like she wants to move onto other things.
Around 67000 people are set to lose universal credit over Christmas. As if this government wasn't cartoonishly evil enough.
In an amazing turn of events, overnight the Tories have redefined the full in full employment.

Honestly? As dodgy as this one is I don't think the scandal is that they have been bought off or have been pressured not to run it. The scandal is how absolutely shocking reporting of science/academia is in general. Journalists simply do not understand what they are reporting on, and it gives people like Fiona Fox, in this instance, scope to exploit the ignorance.
Things like the Peer Review process are badly understood, and I don't really know why. Presumably because paying people with the credentials to comment on technical information is more expensive than shoving it the way of someone who will hash up something that will convince 90% of the general public.

Best thing is seeing the continued eradication of UKIP.
Of their losses 3 have to Labour, one LD and one Tory. So it looks like they're swinging left.
Yes quite possibly. The BBC and the current conservative government(Going back to the Cameron days)and linked together quite well, only recently senior people from the BBC went after the job of being Theresa Mays director of communications(The job eventually going to a former BBC employer), Andrew Neil the BBC biggest political big shot had also worked for the tories(There are many more cases as well). Although this isn't really the point, it's not really a pro bias but more that

If that was Dianne Abbot the media would have had a field day.
The Trump line about him being able to shoot someone isn't far off when it comes to the Tories and the British media. The Appeaser doesn't get dolled up for Dacre for nothing.
Budget Day 2017
Anyone watching the Budget?
You think?
Fair point. Hammond is such a sniveling twat.
I wonder what the budget u-turn will be this time around.
The attempts at humour fecking hell
Well it's early days but so far the Tories have decided that 'picking winners' in industry is a good idea after all, and will seed businesses and have funds available left right and centre. 'Market forces' not forceful enough, it seems.
Hammond acting like some wannabe stand up comedian FFS.
You're not funny you wanker and you're ruining people's lives.

There's an attempted zinger after every line it's actually embarrassing.
Seems like he's trying to relate and boost his popularity, not a chance they'll give you the leadership phillip
He's so smug. I really can't stand him.
