Don't you think things would be even worse under AL?
On the other hand could things be any worse?

Tim Farron said it was sinister. I agree.
Do you think Andrea Leadsom is squaring up for another leadership battle?

If the media wants to get behind Britain, it should be campaigning to abandon Brexit - in my opinion.

The BBC's role is not to be cheerleader or the government's personal PR machine.

If the media had been less biassed towards 'Leave' at the time of the referendum, we might not be in this mess now.
And what right has she to tell us that we should be 'patriotic' and do what the tories want?

Is the feeling from some quarters ' how very dare she suggest the media get behind Britain and stop slagging off the Government therefore weakening our position in Europe even more!' Yes, I think it is.

In a democracy, the media should hold the government to account - not be cheerleaders.

I agree with her the media should get behind Brexit instead of slagging Britain off all the time.

I turned on the BBC News this morning and could not believe what I saw. Andrea Leadsom had the nerve to say that the Media should get behind the Brexit negotiators presenting a united front against the EU. First she reckons that because 42% plus 40% voted for Tory and Labour that gives 82% in favour of a Brexit mandate. As for blaming the media for questioning them that smacks of dictatorship. Harping back to the referendum result which any reasonable person knows was seriously flawed.

How does she tick????

That media has to question government in a democracy, as regards Brexit and other matters they have not been outspoken enough. Which is why government has got away with it for so long.
