Tories in crisis

BBC News presenter Fiona Bruce was bouncing around like Tigger when she was announcing the Tory "landslide" victory in the election. She used the word landslide more times than I could count.

She is not so chipper now. Those pesky news reporters keep coming up with stories which discredit this government. 

Whether it is the lack of PPE for NHS staff and care-home staff, the Trump-like underestimation of the C-virus and its "sombrero" or the simple dishonesty of 90 per cent of government claims to be "working round the clock" and "ramping up" this that and the other, there is nothing for Tories to be smirking about now.

As for Question Time, she has turned it into a Party Political Broadcast for the Conservative Party and that was not the original intention. It was supposed to appear impartial whether it was or not.
