Most of the comments I see about the BBC being biased are about them being biased against the conservatives rather than anything else. As far as Murdoch is concerned, he has been known to throw his support behind another political colour in the past. Like I said, the press goes with whoever they think will win. Blaming Cameron for being solely responsible for Umunna's withdrawal is a stretch in my view. |

Hang on. Where have I said Cameron is 'solely responsible' for Umunna's withdrawal from the Labour leadership race? Happy to debate with you but please don't try and spin what I say. As for the press it has always shown a strong bias to the Tories with the Express,Mail,Telegraph,Financial Times,Evening Standard and The Times right wing. Only the Mirror and to a lesser extent the Guardian left wing. The Sun apart from the Blair years has been Tory too. Edited by Zip, 16 May 2015, 03:56 PM.

I think you are overstating the influence the press really have though. And with newspapers becoming less and less in circulation the influence reduces every day. Hate when people say Conservatives only won because they have the Sun favouring them. There are less readers of the Sun than the difference between Conservative and Labour votes. And I bet a large portion of the Sun readers didn't vote, and didn't vote Conservative. Edited by Madejski, 16 May 2015, 04:16 PM.

Newspapers follow public opinion, they don't create it. The Sun doesn't always back the winner either:

So Andy Burnham is the unions choice eh? He's been my favourite to lead Labour long before the election. I must have more red in me than I thought.

Saw Burnham on the Andrew Marr show this morning. The way he was talking it sounds like he thinks its a done deal. He also said he supports an EU referendum, despite the fact that he is pro Europe. That will be a complete turnaround seeing that Milibands message was that Labour were totally opposed to a referendum. Could be some interesting times ahead. |

I think Burnham is a straight talker. I don't think he will ever be Prime Minister but reckon he will stabilise the party and prevent them falling further back in five years time. |

I reckon he could go all the way Mike. If he gets the job and can get the party back on track, he could well lead them to an election success in 2020. Another five years of the tories hammering the British people should make the job a whole lot easier. And I imagine Cameron and his gang will slowly start working their way up the social ladder of who their draconian cuts will effect, so there will be more people ready to kick them out of office. |
