Just notes as too late in the day. Major week for news so Sundays should have had a lot to say.
I did some tweets and made a joke guess the Observer would promote Ken Clarke as new leader for Labour. Turns out just a big interview with Clarke and a chicken photo for Corbyn. cannot find anything else but will check.
The main conclusion of this blog, a major factor is the media determination not to report Corbyn. there must have been something going on this week.
Mirror a bit more but most news about something else.
Mail / Times / Sun /Telegraph / Express all gone on People versus Parliament. This seems to be the new thing. So not much defence of Johnson point by point as in debate. Just aimed at Leave vote now ok with no deal. Seems quite dangerous as many Conservatives not happy.
But the newspapers are going with it. And telly follows along. Will it work? Newspapers have to survive somehow but the move to opinion cuts the value as news at some point. The Express has gone further towards Brexit Party. Can Reach allow this longterm? Could get more extreme. If there is a chaos exit who to blame then?
Media outside the UK much more sensible I think. CNN recent report on farmers in N Ireland. Prices dropping already. Cannot remember similar on BBC or ITV. Outside UK I guess reputation of UK media dropping.
Twitter just about has a space for Labour discussion. Hard to tell how this compares with actual opinion in UK.
