Fair play to the channel 4 news editor in standing up to the Tories. It is such a shame that those at the BBC don't have the same back bone.

Laura K has been campaigning for the Tories for years. This is nothing new.

Yeah, I’m just hoping its a final embarrassment for her and she has some sort of epiphany and starts doing her job.

Probably a bit unfair. She's doing precisely the job that the people who pay her wages expect her to do.

She is doing her job and doing it well. Her masters are pleased with her, so pleased that they got carried away and forget that she is meant to appear impartial.

Its true too, which made the 7/10 comment all the more a deliberate act of vandalism.

Marr hs been a soft touch for years, he even makes the likes of Barry the Gardener and James Cleverley seem like thoughtful intelligent politicians

Got my postal vote today.

It tells me to put one part in envelope a, one in envelope b.

They sent me two envelopes a.

Two choices.  Fill them in and return them - electoral fraud, I expect.

Don't fill them in, disenfranchise yourself.

I don't think there's time to get a replacement sent out, is there?

Tory snowflakes massively triggered by Channel 4. It's a leaders debate ffs. If you can't produce your leader than you should be expect to be empty-chaired.

Yep.

Sending Gavin Williamson to do the rounds (a joke in itself) and criticise Channel 4 for 'grandstanding' and 'playing politics'

And Gove publicly showing up with cameras, and posting a video on his Twitter screaming and shouting about not being allowed on is...?

Plenty of time for a new one to be sent. Maybe call up and explain the situation? Will probably send you out a B envelope.

I'm going away next week. I've given them a call and they are sending another.

Can't even even say he "might" do it. He could say yes to that and still back out of it as it is only a possibility still. Farcical.

Boris Johnson sent his dad down to the Channel 4 leaders debate to argue that Gove should go on TV instead of him.

The whole thing is just bizarre.

I must be so out of touch with the ’average voter’ because I can’t understand how people could consider this guy to be PM material.  

Apart from he didn't actually do this of course. His dad had previously been invited by Channel 4 to be there. They even sent a private car to pick him up to take him to discuss a climate debate..
