GB News claims they are an entertainment channel not a news channel to avoid scrutiny from Ofcom so why should Starmer and Reeves go on there?

As proven on the last page it’s not even true they refuse to go on.GB News claims they are an entertainment channel not a news channel to avoid scrutiny from Ofcom so why should Starmer and Reeves go on there?
Don't bring facts into the politics threadAs proven on the last page it’s not even true they refuse to go on.
So much of what Farage UK does is a cheap imitation of Trump. Try to create personality cults, have ‘entrance music’ to rallies, ‘DOGE’, attack the press instead of handle questions etc etc. No original thinking, no substance, just racist dog whistling.Don't bring facts into the politics thread
Trump and Farage both have a cult like following. And yes you can to a certain extent apply the same to some figures on the left but I don't think it's at the same scale.So much of what Farage UK does is a cheap imitation of Trump.

Likeability matters more in politics and the world in general than most other things. Have it and you get cut more slack; Trump despite an appalling second term still is on 35% approval where basically anyone else would be low 20s.Trump and Farage both have a cult like following.

Look at the response to the Farage school stuff. Just not prepared to accept it could possibly have happened, making every excuse they can think of for him. I don't get why people would blindly follow anyone in politics but the control Trump and Farage have over their supporters is a whole other level.
yea but what about smash hitsGB News claims they are an entertainment channel not a news channel to avoid scrutiny from Ofcom so why should Starmer and Reeves go on there?
Its often stated on the channel that he's been repeatedly asked to appear and always refuse's the interview above was at Labour party conference not GB news studio's. The stupid bastard probably got confused when asked to take questions from Chris Hope and that it was not Chris Mason of the BBC. Could you upload a link of him being on GB news.As proven on the last page it’s not even true they refuse to go on.
the reason the BBC is getting flak is because it claims impartiality whilst promoting liberal worldviews.
Have you not looked into leaked memo last month?Can you show your working here? i.e. an example of where they've actually promoted a liberal worldview.

Of 219 push notifications on the BBC News app, just 4 were concerning illegal migrants/asylum seekers. 3 of those were concerned with their poor living conditions.
Maya Forstater’s report claims that on Trans issues, BBC reporting uses activist language and refused to air ‘gender-critical’ stories. For example, Martine Croxhall was reprimanded for refusing to read ‘pregnant people’ with ‘women’.
The most blatant example is splicing up Trump’s speeches.
and using the word leftistsIt’s obvious when someone from the UK has gone down Twitter rabbit holes and starts conflating left-wing/liberal.
Exactly. PERIOD!and using the word leftists
Can't knock her for that.Well as a student she wanted Tony Blair assassinated
I know right. It’s almost like there’s bigger issues in the country or indeed the world. What on earth could be relegating the only two serious news stories in the world (how to stop immigration and trans people taking over the world, obviously) to mere footnotes when we live in a world without wars, genocides, famine, the effects of climate change, no celebrities ever die, no schools are falling down, education standards have never been higher, the wealth gap has never been smaller, no children are living in abject poverty, cancer has been cured etc etc. it’s almost as if the BBC doesn’t want to talk about the only two real issues facing the world, thank god for GB News who thankfully talk about nothing else.Have you not looked into leaked memo last month?

I’d never heard of people not having a gp before the last few years now I know loads of young people that don’tMy recent encounter with A and E shows the actual issue is at least half the people should just be sent home with a box of paracetamol
Numbers leaving A&E without treatment triples in six years
Sharp rise in waiting times has led to ‘shocking’ rise in untreated patients leaving NHS emergency departments in England, data showswww.theguardian.com

If they get poorly it’s a and e
Maddening
I don’t know what’s happenedMost weren’t young. Most also had fuck all wrong with them
I don’t know what’s happened
I’d like to say there’s not enough primary care but there is pharmacy and gp support before a and e it’s a strange one
Maybe nhs need to get into schools an educate people on how it all works
Hope you got the care you needed
Totally agree with this.Most weren’t young. Most also had fuck all wrong with them
Totally agree with this.
When I was in there last it was people in there for stomach aches, head aches or because something didnt feel right.
One in there for pain killers for a tooth infection.
Sounds ridiculous but I do think some older people go there for something to do and something to talk about with people.
At the same time there was a woman in there late 20's loudly talking about how shes always here as she has a chronic illness and neither her or her husband can work, but they have 4 kids.
Its just a total mess. People were in there for hours and hours. I was sent as my GP couldnt be arsed to see me. My "Consultation" when at A&E there was 2 minutes"One bloke was shouting he’d left his smokes at home and was asking the staff if they had one
There were no seats and some woman was lying across 3. She told me to fuck if as she had been there for 10 hours and needed a kip
On the other hand, there is an argument that people’s reluctance to seek healthcare is even more damaging, and we already have evidence of this costing the taxpayer https://www.health.org.uk/features-...-care-isn-t-a-credible-fix-for-our-nhs-crisisIts just a total mess.

I think like you said, if there was a charge of even £10 applied to it would deter a lot of people.

It seems clear to me that investing in health services (i.e GPs) so that A&E is not the most obvious and accessible first port of call for any health issue would go a long way to improving the situation.
Why only most?Most people there will definitely have a facility to see a doctor
Why only most?
You don’t have to so some will inevitably not have a gpWhy only most?
Well you tell me - it’s you who said most instead of all.I would assume they all have the facility available? Why not?
Well you tell me - it’s you who said most instead of all.
I think most people on here will have stories about being encouraged to visit A&E when they’ve tried to see a GP. Happened to us as recently as this week.
I spent 3 days in A&E a while back as they didn't quite know what to do with me. Was quite an eye opener. What you've highlighted here is essentially the problem, although it applies to far more than GPs.I was sent as my GP couldnt be arsed to see me.
My wife had questions about an X-ray she’d had after her GP referred her to have an additional scan, without saying why. Rang up the medical centre to be told the GP was unavailable and the next appointment wouldn’t be for another week. The receptionist cheerfully told us that if we really wanted an answer before then, we could head to A&E for another X-ray. Wouldn’t even refer us to an urgent care centre either. We didn’t bother but I’m sure plenty of people do.You don’t have a GP?
