To be fair he annulled his credibility forever more when he uttered the words 'I read an article in The Sun today'. Game over.
P.S I read most of the papers. (You know, to get a balanced view of the news).

I chatted to my local newsagent for many years. He worked through as many of the papers as he could each day and emerged from the process confused and depressed - and often a little scared. He would share with me some of the wild conspiracy theories he had developed from his reading and shake his head when I offered a different interpretation. I am convinced he got more confused the more he read and I strongly recommended he stop reading them. I offer you the same advice.
Unless you bring critical thinking and wider knowledge to your reading, I am afraid the collective wisdom of the not very diverse newspapers will not help. If you can achieve critical thinking and wider knowledge, then you will appreciate with sorrow that you are better off without those newspapers.
Originally posted by finneganAppreciate the advice sir, but am not at all confused, depressed or scared by reading many newspapers. I am however, as a consequence, well informed about what is going on in the world.

Would you have tendered the same advice when I was doing my studies, and rather than studying a plethora of world religions, to instead just focus on one of them,...so as to avoid becoming confused, depressed and scared?
And take Freaky for example (please, take him). I'd be surprised if he read more than one paper, but that didn't stop him from developing 'wild conspiracy theories.'

Psst, Labour lost.
(Don't tell Diane Abbott).
The Conservatives got less than 50% of the vote.
If UKIP were credible and the Right vote was split Labour would be in. 🙂
May can only lose votes and many of the disillusioned who didn't vote will be voting Labour next time.
When is the next Election? November?
London estate agents are today claiming the London property market is extremely buoyant after a 60-year-old woman paid £1bn for a terraced property with an SW1A postcode.
With many buyers around the capital waiting to see the impact of Brexit on property prices before making unnecessary house moves, the £1bn purchase of 10 Downing Street has left many estate agents predicting a bumper summer of commissions.

The Tories won but actually lost in a big way.Look what a shambles you have to try and manage now.Some papers are already tipping Bonkers Boris to PM in a short time.
Labour lost but actually won.
Gaining seats doesn't equate as winning.
