'Who's in, who's out' in Parliament doesn't much concern me. I'm afraid my concerns anent Brexit are very personal as, like Felix Randal, I have 'some/fatal (possibly in my case if they were to go horribly agley)four disorders fleshed there.' I try to maintain all the serenity of a Taoist sage as I read of impending shortages of medicines but it ain't easy.Barbatus sed non barbarus

That blogger, another angry voice, has written brilliantly on "performative stupidity" on the attached link (second item down) - namely, the faux incomprehension of BBC and other interviewers in the broadcasting media when it comes to conveying Labour's Brexit tactics. Glad to discover I'm not the only one who's been noticing this more and more recently, and finding myself screaming at the radio, because there's definitely something sinister going on here:

<< Are all local Conservative associations totally in tune, or just blindly obeying orders from HQ, when it comes to the deselection and banning of the elected members with who they have had a good relationship over the years, or have the moderate one-nation tory officials been also removed >>
Have to say that this is what worries me too. For years, local associations apparently support a candidate, and then voila! bang, they're out, and disowned by that association. Why? Is it the PARTY they support blindly under any circs, or their own chosen representative? Or what?

Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostS_A I'm sure hard line Brexiteers think exactly the same. When Simon McCoy was interviewing Steve Baker of the ERG about their current stance the other day the latter exploded that this was typical of the BBC. Simon McCoy patiently explained that the BBC gets this all the time, what he was doing was putting the question to him and giving him the opportunity to reply/explain. Whilst Labour's position makes perfect sense and is founded on well-placed mistrust, it has been tortuously arrived at to cover up deep divisions in the party (nothing wrong with that, the DUP, LibDems, Plaid and Greens are the only ones without such divisions), and it's the interviewer's job to interrogate it, not to be sympathetically understanding. If both sides are complaining, the BBC must be doing a reasonable job.
As a suggestion, Labour might help themselves if they suggested sending an all party group to negotiate a new deal, which they would then be prepared to campaign against if they felt that Remain looked a better option than the newly negotiated deal .
Incidentally I'm not sure that Labour's position is so much to cover up, as to deal with their divisions. Absolutely nobody thinks that Labour are unified on this.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

The BBC is in the business of entertainment... which is one of the main reasons why we have the Prime Minister we do , he makes good TV and (as RB said) why the odious Farage isn't confined to drunken ranting in his local pub........ what would help is MORE MEDIA STUDIES.... Marshall McLuhan must be spinning in his grave
