The ERG/no-deal Brexiteers gets amazing coverage on Today, WatO and PM. Add this to the hard-line Brexiteers in the Cabinet like Fox and Leadsom and you could easily draw the opposite conclusion. When the no dealers appear on the programme they are allowed to broadcast the many falsehoods of a sudden break virtually unchallenged. But also when the May deal apparatchiks say the deal means end of free movement and we are leaving the EU they are not pulled up by presenters and reminded that the transition period means we can’t leave the EU until January 2021at the earliest. This is why so many have a problem with the May formula.

He’s got to go. That’s your flippin’ headline!

How about “Tell advertisers to boycott LBC until they sack Katie Hopkins”. Do you remember that one?

“Welsh education minister: ‘Callous, ignorant’ IDS should be sacked.”

MPs should not ask for presenters to be sacked. But given LFFs record of calling for sackings, no-platforming and the like, you’re looking at a mote while missing your own beam. You could at least try not to be hypocrites.

How long before they want to close down the Guardian?
