    My head is in my hands looking at how this is edited.

    A partly political broadcast for the Tory Party.

    One of the best around, in my view. Laura is fiercely independent and in no way beholding to the tories.

    And anyone who thinks the BBC is pro Tory is living in a parallel universe.

    Not necessarily, the Beeb has certainly changed its tone somewhat since the threat from the Tories a couple of years ago. BTW not seen the programme mentioned in this thread, just going on my own observations.

    That'll be a "no" then.

    Yep the Tory party threatens the BBC for 5 years & we get this. OK.

    I wouldn't mind if there was some proper context to the bias. Only Sadiq Khan got a look in from the labour party, apart from one line from Keir Stalmer. Very little from anyone up north whatsoever & Scotland totally forgotten.

    Sorry, if you think that's decent reporting I'm astounded.

    The Beeb rarely does decent political reporting nowadays, Its almost as bad as ITV.

    I haven't watched the programme you're referring to; my point was more general. The BBC is in no way pro Tory.

    Anyone would have thought watching the show the Tory Party was 100% pro
    Brexit.
    It was only in 2015 that Dave C was elected, who campaigned passionately to remain. Conveniently the 3 Tory interviewies were Boris, Irritable Bowel System & David Davis. The fact loads of Tories are not happy was totally overlooked.
    Labour got Sadiq, who is hardly speaking for Labour heartlands & one liners from the Lib Dem leader & Stalmer.

    A sham of a show.

    BBC are IMO very pro Tory.

    And extremely anti Scottish.

    Utterly horrible organisation.

    Laura Kuennsberg is pro-EU and anti-Trump, and as such fits in very well at the Beeb and is in no way pro-Tory.

    It's true the BBC hates Corbyn but that's only because he has no chance of power and they want a Labour government.

    I don't think the BBC is particularly biased in any set political way. I'd say they are pro establishment and pro the status quo but that's hardly surprising.

    The Tories have always been divided over Europe and Cameron was a passionate remainer, that is certainly very true. Even the current PM was a reluctant remainer but maybe, and this might sound flippant, what was Corbyn's stance? It feels like Labour are now more divided over Europe than the Tories.

    Anyway I don't want this to become another Corbyn or Brexit thread so as I said I can't really comment as I didn't watch the programme but thanks to the wonders of iPlayer I can watch it later.

    And had obviously never seen Question Time where they bus in Labour Activists for the audience and everyone is left-wing not matter which town they're in.

    Look at the panel tonight, 4 out of 5 voted Remain.

    Last week they had the Labour MP on with a Labour-supporting pop star as well, which they do regularly, doubling up.

    As for anti-Scottish why does there seem to be a Scottish politician on that show every week even when it's not in Scotland?

    Every week? I don't think so pal.

    Anyway why shouldn't a Scottish MP be on the program even if it isn't coming from Scotland.

    My comment wasn't about the BBC, it was about their Chief Political Correspondent, who paints issues in the most biased, simplistic way I've ever seen. I agree with you about Corbyn, but that wasn't my point. The programme paints a united government going into a david vs goliath battle vs the EU. Comic book ******, In reality one of the Tories greatest minds, Heseltine has got the boot this week over Brexit & when jobs start to get lost there will be carnage in my opinion. Non of this was discussed.
