snowychap Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) New anti-strike legislation trailed, apparently - this time requiring 'minimum service levels' (yet to be defined) to be maintained during disputes.

People quoting case after case which showed Peston not knowing what he was talking about. Basic facts. The funniest was someone pointing out that Lord Mandelson was Minister for Business when Peston was BBC Business Correspondent, but there are several others. Peston is paid around £250k a year for this level of incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of political journalism dips noticeably in the final weeks of an election campaign. But am slightly amazed he even thought this might be true, given that he must have dealt directly with several cabinet ministers who sat in the House of Lords. A bizarre claim to make.

peterms Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Could Neil's apparent outrage at Johnson breaking his word on doing the interview perhaps have been...confected...insincere...? It boggles the mind to admit the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Indy article doesn't say so, and I would have thought that the Tories would not have admitted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I really hope Boris tells Sturgeon to do one with her independence referendum request. After the last 3 years of churn and uncertainty the last thing we need is Scotland throwing a fresh spanner into the works, border controls, currency, freedom of movement, businesses etc. Absolutely not the right time for the UK.
