Here's another question you will NEVER hear asked on any @BBCNews or @BBCPolitics shows:

Here's another question you will NEVER hear asked on any
@BBCNews or @BBCPolitics shows:

What role do the influential state broadcaster's news & political shows play in shaping public opinion about #neoliberal free-market #capitalism?

Another question you'll NEVER hear asked on any @BBCNews or @BBCPolitics show, is why were there almost twice as many formal 'corrections & clarifications' made by the @BBC in 2019 for mistakes showing @UKLabour in a bad light, when compared to the Tories?

Another question you won't hear on @BBCNews or @BBCPolitics shows: is it morally acceptable for the world's richest 1% to hide much of their £158TRILLION, while 1 billion people live with less than $1/day & 1 million species are threatened with extinction?

Another question you won't hear on @BBCNews or @BBCPolitics:

"Why do you rarely mention the huge influence on UK politics of US billionaires like Fred Koch & Robert Mercer, nor their guru, James Buchanan, who wanted to exchange democracy for #oligarchy?"
