Emily Maitlis throws a spear through the BBC's impartiality

Not at all surprising.

Remember when the BBC edited the Boos from BJs Question Time?
Or when they reported that Matt Hancock was assaulted by Labour activists when in fact he'd made it up?
Or when the BBC reported that Labour were doing badly in the postal voting, while the voting was taking place?

I could go on.

Its state media.

Pedantic, but I think this was that Kuensseberg posted this on her private Twitter. I don't think it was on the Beeb.

True, but she's a BBC employee with blue blood.

Hence all the anti-BBC chest beating from the Tories. Appear to be against it so no-one notices you're actually controlling it

She is so dead on arrival in a General Election

^ worryingly, as the article states, this tactic of avoiding difficult media encounters worked very well indeed for Johnson in a GE.

Yeah, just hide in a fridge and you'll get voted in regardless. He set an example.

The trouble for Truss though is that Johnson could then pop up where he wanted and be charasmatic enough to leave an impression. Truss lacks that skill wholesale

Plus, she'll be too busy provoking China

That twitter account.... Looks well dodgy.

Good luck with that Dizzy, you’ll be on your own.

When the Prime Minister with a massive majority loses power just two and a bit years later and has to claim that the UK isn't broken...

It's broken

“When London does well, the UK does too,”

Evidence please.

She's actually worse than bozo.

Liz Truss is going to do away with mandatory variable speed limits and smart motorways. Her government's going to get rid of them.

Honestly, I can scarcely believe this. It's literally bringing about more traffic jams because some idiot cro-magnon Gammon has complained about them to her, and it's what will make that person, in the room with her, at that specific moment, feel happy/listened to.

EDIT: Why is it that everything coming out of the government - literally everything - sounds like it was written by that one cantankerous bloke down the pub that everyone's doing their best to ignore, despite him elbowing people and saying "eh, eh?" when talking about his immigrant neighbours?
