The News Agents

Emily is correct

Maitlis’ analysis is delirium in the extreme, where does she get this utter nonsense from? She cheerleads Carney for blaming Trump and suggests that if Reeves did likewise that would be valid form of politics, diplomacy, w/e you would like to call it. It strikes me if Rishi rich or Liz Untrust tried the same, assuming they were in this circumstance, she wouldn’t be so empathetic to the plight of the cabinet or promoting finger pointing to another nation for the perceived malaise the UK seems to find itself in. This isn’t to say that Trumps policy isn’t inextricably linked to economic conditions around the world, but it’s just another diabolical example of severe bias. This is coming from a left leaning listener and writer but this is just bizarre and all to frequent from Maitlis.

All three are top notch
