Now this I agree with. Most BBC guests appear on these things for a (relative) pittance (I’m not talking contracted stars like Lineker, but one off guests). They go on to advertise something. All of them. A new film, an album, a show, a book…
I agree that she has. However, and I might be projecting onto LK unfairly, I always got the sense in the run up to the election that she was having a pop at Tories out of frustration and disappointment that they hadn't got their sh#t together, rather than rightful moral indignation. This was after LK seemed to be proudly stating that is was going to be close, in spite of many other commentators predicting a one sided outcome.
Could very well be right - or simply getting her ducks in a row knowing they were going to be mullered.
It isn't strange, albeit in the context you present it, it may seem strange.
To be fair.....I actually thought she was a correspondent rather than a flagship presenter, owing to the undigested nature of the content she presented (largely soundbites from partisan players with little or no critical assessment).
I would think the context of having 5 years of Tory indeptitude, infighting and corruption would lead to more people voting Labour?
The Boris Johnson book is being promoted and serialised now to coincide with the Tory Party conference. It often happens.
Yes, there's context to every election. That Corbyn got more votes than Starmer is indisputable and evidence that Starmer can't take his big majority for granted. Starmer hasn't before the election or since convinced the electorate to trust him.
Not necessarily as it depends on why people turned off from the Tories. Many of the “incompetent Government” ilk will have gone to Labour (as the only realistic alternative party of Government). Some will have gone to the Lads for their softer, more Europhile approach to the Tory headbangers. Then there are the “they betrayed our Boris and our Brexit” ones who flocked to Reform.
Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't computed the vote number figure, but that's so stark and, I know I'm being pedantic here but I think it's worth saying, they actually lost more than half their 2019 vote number.
Yep. Easy peasy.
Kuenssberg is very clearly in love with Boris Johnson, and sending him the interview qs surely the most Freudian of slips.
Yes but Starmer is so dull. He doesn't have the charisma of a Johnson, which is the sort of thing that millions of voters apparently like.
As Boris probably never ever said to any woman ever........
