Current Affairs The Conservative Party

I'll tell you a bad consequence of this implosion of the BBC that could occur; this GBN takes precedence and gets strongly funded by the government instead.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about that so much as GBN is very much preaching to the choir. I’m pretty sure this government are toast. They’ve got very little to go with now and they’ve shot their load on an issue that is important to their base, but by no means the biggest issue for their base.

I absolutely hope so for all our sakes.

I have a friend who is a senior pollster for Ipsos Mori. I was asking him about the small boats situation and he said that it is a big factor for Brexiters and people that moved to vote Tory in 2019. But it is nowhere near as big an issue as cost of living for example. And the other thing is that a lot of that 2019 base now have little faith in the Tories sorting out the small boats issue anyway. They have already failed on delivering the Brexit people wanted, the economy in general , the NHS, crime. And it seems like people aren’t buying their push on “solving” illegal immigration.

So how to deal with someone posting a political view even if it happens to agree with government is now "hypothetical". It's almost like he's trying to avoid actually answering this really simple and easy question. I'm really really confused as to why he dodged this. Its very Puzzling a question for our age.

Let me think for a while...

Nope still no idea why.

From Hunt this morning it sounds like he’s only going to give additional help for childcare costs to those parents who are on universal credit.

How does that incentivise the low paid parents who don’t qualify for UC to continue working?

Just need a brave enough BBC employee to act as a stalking horse and go live praising some controversial government policy to the rafters and see what happens.
