O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[SwalePie]

According to all the sources I have read, the Financial Times is the most unbiased/trustworthy rag.

Indeed it is. The Guardian is said to be the most trusted 'non-business' newspaper.

Here's a survey from 2023 for anyone interested...

"The Guardian is the highest ranking non-business newspaper in terms of the highest trust figure, at 33%, while the Independent is the national with the highest net trust score (+16, slightly ahead of the Guardian’s +15)."

"The Guardian is the highest ranking non-business newspaper in terms of the highest trust figure, at 33%, while the Independent is the national with the highest net trust score (+16, slightly ahead of the Guardian?s +15)."

The key paragraph here is......

"Comparing the levels of trust between Conservative and Labour voters reveals which outlets are the most divisive politically.
The largest difference applies to The Guardian. While the paper receives a net score of +41 among those who voted Labour in 2019, among Conservatives it scores -6."

The Guardian doesn't have any serious rival non-working class left wing papers to compete with. Votes for the right wing papers will be split.

I wouldn't trust any of them personally.

A very fair point.
