So it seems the Brexit department isn't in charge of Brexit anymore. Outstanding stuff. The Thick Of It has nothing on this. https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-07-24/HCWS924
How dare you post such a thing, wonder how long before the 3 amigos pop up to shoot you down

and your point is?
The left-wing case for leaving the European Union (championed by Tony Benn) wasn't even articulated leading up to the referendum.
Quote from: Copps is Magic on July 25, 2018, 12:19:16 amThe left-wing case for leaving the European Union (championed by Tony Benn) wasn't even articulated leading up to the referendum. That's actually a tad unfair. Corbyn himself discussed it on a left-wing American webinar a few hours before the polls opened. In fairness, while he didn't comment on the economic benefits of staying in the EU, he did say that we should Remain, because it's an interconnected world and plastic bags dropped off the coast of Colombia can end up in Japan. To the barricades Comrades!

If it was this easy why has this government lost a leader and countless others trying to put it all together? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/07/25/plans-stockpile-food-blood-medicine-case-no-deal-brexit-sensible/
Come on Glyn, the whole media has bias to its agenda one way or another. A neutral press is an illusion
Quote from: Ldr on July 26, 2018, 09:13:54 amCome on Glyn, the whole media has bias to its agenda one way or another. A neutral press is an illusionSo you'd agree that quoting one news source to prove another news source is biased is doubly pointless?
I don't know if the MoS has changed its editorial stance since the Referendum, but during the campaign it was very pro-Remain. In stark contrast to its sister Daily paper.

Where are the figures for all the rest? It couldn't be selective reporting at all, could it?

By the way. You might recall me pointing out that the head of Vote Leave is on record as crowing that they paid some clever guys to focus adverts in the final week of the campaign through Facebook to people who they had (illegally) identified as being susceptible to being anti-immigrant. Cummings said they sent 1.5bn adds to 7million people. Facebook have given Parliament a document with images from those ads. Here they are. https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/culture-media-and-sport/Fake_news_evidence/Vote-Leave-50-Million-Ads.pdf
