BBC Radio 4’s hectoring of Jeremy Hunt could have been scripted by Labour’s spin doctors
Blinkered BBC
WITH Labour hot favourites to win power, their BBC cheerleaders appear to have abandoned neutrality entirely.
The hectoring of Jeremy Hunt on Radio 4 — and the one-sided trashing of Britain — could have been scripted by Keir Starmer’s spin doctors.
Even the mild-mannered Chancellor bridled at the blinkered diatribe read out by presenter Amol Rajan.
It is true we are in an economic slump. Most countries are. The BBC wants you to believe that we are uniquely failing, thanks solely to Tory mismanagement.
It took the Chancellor to point out the Tories have dealt with the long fallout of the global crash, then a catastrophic pandemic, then the inflation-fuelling war in Europe. Far greater economic challenges than Tony Blair ever faced.
The BBC considers its liberal-leftism “centrist” and its favoured Blairite think-tanks unimpeachable sources of “facts”.
But its staff should ask themselves this: Do ANY of their colleagues admit they voted for the Tories, or Brexit?
The inevitable answer will reveal everything about the entrenched bias at the broadcaster we are all forced to fund.
Whitehall farce
IF you doubt the civil service is full of left-wing activists, consider Mohammed Shafiq.
The “Diversity and Inclusion Lead” at the DWP is meant to serve the Government impartially. Fat chance. Shafiq calls himself an “activist, journalist and campaigner” and supports George Galloway.
Since Galloway wants Israel torn apart, Jewish staff at the DWP might justifiably wonder how fully Safiq’s “inclusion” mission embraces them.
This partisan radical’s employment in Whitehall surely cannot go on.
Good sports
ATTITUDES to women’s sport have come on in leaps and bounds — but there is still a way to go.
We’ll get there, though, thanks to inspiring superstars like those on our International Women’s Day panel.
They had precious few female role models when they were coming up. Now 100 teenage girls invited to The Sun’s HQ have THEM as their guides.

Dirty Harry
PRINCE Harry hated being criticised for using private jets as he preached about the climate. But even his heroes saw through it.
Watching an England rugby training session he was mocked by the coach, who asked: “How’s climate change going, mate?” as the players guffawed.
Harry the “environment campaigner” still takes private jets to engagements as urgent and essential as a Katy Perry gig.
Hypocrisy? Or just plain stupidity?
