That should be a major headline right there, on all news media. The ordinary person supporting Brexit still considers the likes of Gina Miller challenging parliament suspension as "rich people trying to block the will of the people" but will readily ignore news like this. I've given up trying to persuade people to at least look at both sides of the argument.

Also, Kwasi Kwarteng today said that 'people are beginning to question the impartiality of judges' and 'why are they getting involved in politics'. With many of these politicians, you have to decide if they are just stupid or if they are nefarious. Either way, they are dangerous.

To be entirely fair, though, i'd have to point out that when it comes to interviewing, i've always found Andrew Neil to be an equal opportunities savager. Brexiteers, remainers, in betweeners - he'll take them all down with equal gusto if or when the opportunity arises. That time he got Johnson on the GATT24 thing was epic, all the interviews Johnson was doing around that time and it wasn't until Neil got hold of him that he was actually made to squirm. Not saying he's a pleasant chap or anything, and no secret he's a brexiteer, but he's damn good at the job he does, that i wouldn't try to deny.
"Operation Yellowhammer" document marked "official sensitive" is "reasonable worst case scenario." It talks of lorries having to wait between one and a half and two and half days to cross Channel

Of course they've resisted releasing communications, it would identify a lot of important folk of conspiring to lie to the public, parliament and the queen to get parliament suspended. Her maj must be considering invoking full monarchy powers to run the country, temporarily, considering the utter hames the current shower are making of it. Along with the Scottish court ruling and the poll on NI re Irish reunification, it's fair to say we're watching the UKs political authority crumbling. And of course the various factions are too focused on their cunning wheezes and counter-wheezes, to realise the danger.

That means that even if he is tough on them, who is espousing or championing the anti-Brexit viewpoint? You would have to question the editorial policy there and im sure Neil has plenty of input as a very senior, respected figure. Even if he asks the other two tough questions, no one is speaking against Brexit. What has Farage to offer? He is constantly platformed and is a clear cheat and liar. He's married to a German and his children have German passports for gods sake. Thats probably 'not kosher' to mention... BBC is just worthless these days. Brexit Broadcasting Corporation? I remember I used to be very critical of Sky, but they have played a blinder throughout Brexit.

However we all know already that the worst case scenario is a seperate document called black swan.
"A lot of people think Kwasi Kwarteng is a liar, a joke, a clown, an absolute embarrassment to humanity. I don't think that, by the way, not at all, but there are lots of people who think he's a liar, a joke, a clown, an embarrassment to humanity." We can all play this game!

She is also a classic example of a journalist who gets to close to the subject and is then soft for fear of upsetting the people she essentially works with every day - need to keep a good working relationship! Really she just comes across as though she is enjoying herself, it's all a lark.
