Big fan of examining the evidence from all sides and then forming an opinion. Not so much, already having an opinion and only accepting the evidence from that side. Often happy on the fence.

This type of reporting must stop. The Daily Express saying Kier Starmer snubbed by not being invited to the inauguration. No Prime Minister has ever been invited. Virtually no foreign leader has ever been invited. That’s not the protocol. The media not letting facts get in the way of propaganda.
