The cult of personality that surrounds political editors across all channels, where the reader is meant to care what the writer's personal view is simply because of their job title

Mason and Rigby following in the footsteps of Kuenssberg and Peston, trying to build up their own personal "brand"

Yes, I heard this this morning and thought WTF. He seemed to have made a real effort to find something he could claim was misleading. If they'd done that between 2019 and 2014 they would have broadcast nothing else.

100% I've also noticed he does self insert himself a lot more then his predecessor.
Similar tone to his reform conference piece where he spent the first few paragraphs saying how awed he was by it.

Fucking hell! “Misled”! Has anyone seen what the Tories and Farage promised with #Brexit that currently costs £1.7billion a week! I’m not defending anyone here but the elephant in the room is still Brexit. That’s causing the biggest hole of all in the economy.

I heard him on R4 this morning airing his views and did wonder why he was always so reluctant to do so when Boris Johnson was in power.

I seem to recall that in those days the line was “it’s not on us to tell you if a politician is lying.”

Not that Reeves is lying.

Labour should absolutely be gunning for Mason. He's just admitted bias in his reporting.

Chris Mason is not a columnist. He's there to report. There are conflicting views on what Reeves said and meant and I actually think it's pretty outrageous what he's saying here. That's not his job at all.

Gullis we've all heard of - but only because he made such a deeply unpleasant spectacle of himself.

The other two:
Lia Nici - Grimsby
Chris Green - Bolton West
