Joint record holder Larks :-(, since Watford joined the illustrious ranks of Derby County.

I'm a great fan of Katya Adler. Don't see as much of her as maybe we should right now, though, as she always seems to have a different message from whichever European Head of Government she's just chatted to in their own language from that which comes to us from Conservative Central Office via Broadcasting House

BTW talking of BBC bias in general, does anyone else think it's a little curious that the director of the Good Law Project, winner of the Gina Miller case and heavily involved in the current supreme court case, hasn't been allowed to appear anywhere, ever? To the extent of being cropped out of shot while standing next to Joanna Cherry and giving press interviews together...

LOL, hadn't spotted that Watford connection DeeGee!

(Of course, City couldn't manage to top the fact that Bury won that final 6-0 after going through all of the other rounds without conceding a single goal. But that's for another thread)

Is that Jo Maugham, jda? You say "hasn't been allowed to appear". As in prevented by all of the mainstream media?

BBC boycott. I guess he has probably been on other channels. It's remarkable when you consider what a central figure he's been.

Having looked at his tweets, whilst he is broadly reasonably and balanced (especially wrt other twitter users trying to goad him), I don't think the clip that he uses as an attempt t suggest editing suggests anything of the sort - it's just a centrally framed view of Cheery speaking. Maybe he's just very boring!

Sure as a one-off but that was just the latest.

In true form that current political has now surpassed satirical tv, I give you the "where are they now" of the Thick of It characters: twitter.com

Satire and dystopia have become increasingly difficult areas to do in the last couple of years. I remember while watching the last couple of series of 'House of Cards' thinking how reasonable the Frank and Claire Underwood characters actually were by comparison with the current US president.
