''Another Etonian leader? Time for Labour to challenge the might of private schools''

''Robert Verkaik is the author of Posh Boys: How the English Public Schools Ruin Britain''

''Not since Harold Wilson’s government set up a commission to deal with the “public school problem” has the Palace of Westminster hosted an event that could bring about the dismantling of Britain’s educational apartheid. But MPs this week held a debate on a programme for radical reform of a two-tier system that provides an elite education for a tiny minority of the population, and divides Britain into winners and losers''

Why bother with biased newspapers at all? What's wrong with TV and radio news broadcasts?

Not if he gave us some credible supporting evidence, you should try doing that occasionally it would make your posts more credible BP.

It shouldn't matter which way newspapers lean providing they are accurate and that there is a balance of L/R media in any particular country.

Guardian named UK's most trusted newspaper

''The Guardian is the most trusted newspaper brand in the UK, a study by a non-partisan media research organisation has found.

The research, conducted by the US-based Pew Research Centre, found the Guardian was particularly trusted among readers aged 18 to 29''

Because you can get more informed in-depth articles from which you can refer back to or compare when you want to know more download or reference, re-read later. I will often check a story from several different sources to try and get an idea who is using spin.

You can see quite plainly what I read, what do you watch Steve?

Love Island.

No; I ban my grand-daughter to her own bedroom to watch that sh*te.

I alternate between Sky News and BBC News, including the Press previews. I also watch Newsnight on BBC 2.

If you read the BBC politics you may have seen this where Boris appears to have answer for most things with nothing to support his ideas.

''Boris Johnson defends Brexit plan and 'row' silence''

''Boris Johnson has admitted he would need EU co-operation to avoid a hard Irish border or crippling tariffs on trade in the event of no deal''

''In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the favourite to be next prime minister said: "It's not just up to us.

But he said he did "not believe for a moment" the UK would leave without a deal, although he was willing to do so''

(Interpretation: if you want to leave the EU without a deal then voting conservative will far from guarantee it)

''At the moment, the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October after the PM's Brexit deal was rejected three times by Parliament.

Mr Johnson said he would be able to persuade Brussels to resolve the Irish border issue - a key sticking point - despite repeated warnings from EU leaders that that was impossible.

He said there were "abundant, abundant technical fixes" that could be made to avoid border checks.

When challenged that these do not exist yet, Mr Johnson replied: "Well, they do actually, you have in very large measure they do, you have trusted trader schemes, all sorts of schemes that you could put into place."

(No one at all has come forward with any ideas whatsoever to solve the Irish border without a backstop yet Boris wants everyone to believe in faeries)

''Mr Johnson's really controversial gamble is to say he could do a new trade deal with EU leaders before the end of October.

And he says he would be able do that before resolving the most controversial conundrum - how you fix the dilemma over the Irish border.

He clearly believes he has the political skill to pull that off. He and his supporters would say that is a plan.

But it is a plan that is full of ifs and buts - either heroic or foolhardy assumptions to imagine that EU leaders and Parliament would be ready to back his vision - and back it by Halloween - on an extremely tight deadline''

(Boris known cheat, liar, coward, spendthrift, racist and spoilt brat says he can do a deal where no one before him could)

And it goes on ......................

a lot of my posts are just opinion Sydney yes I prob am wrong a lot of the time but so be it mate, but you come on here to try and preach everyone of your posts is set out to discredit the tories or a Tory mp no matter what any labour mp has done you have not put a link up to make him or her look bad

The thing is BP the conservatives are providing all the ammunition without the means to defend themselves they are an utter shambles and regardless of what labour are doing they are not in power. I think Corbyn is acting appallingly by neglecting the younger voters that almost gave him power and I predicted a long time back that if May didn't back a second vote she would have to go and I said the same about JC.

BP, my comment copied below was meant to be more a rejoinder rather than a direct attack on your credibility I just wish that more people would provide links to show that their ideas have got some basis that could be discussed, I want those that disagree with me to show me a better way, tell me how the country should be run, tell me why Brexit is such a good idea especially the no-deal bit.

''The elite that failed''

''Britain’s political crisis exposes the inadequacy of its leaders''

''IN THE PAST year the British body politic has endured an astonishing list of maladies. The cabinet has lost a foreign secretary and two Brexit secretaries, not to mention lots of lesser fry. Parliament has voted to hold the government in contempt. The Conservative Party has held a vote of no confidence in the prime minister and left her badly wounded. And it is going to get worse. There is no parliamentary majority for any Brexit deal, and no way out of the impasse that won’t break promises—and possibly heads''

''There are two popular explanations for this mayhem. One is that Europe was always destined to tear Britain apart, since too many Britons loathe the evolution of the common market into a European Union. A second is that Brexit has provided a catalyst for a long-simmering civil war between successful Britain (which is metropolitan and liberal) and left-behind Britain (which is provincial and conservative). Both explanations have merit. But there is also a third''
