Brexit supporting MP receiving unfavourable media attention. How surprising.

Guardian = "Clause one of the Ipso editors’ code of practice covers accuracy. In particular, the clause outlaws “inaccurate, misleading or distorted information” including headlines not supported by the text of the story itself. "
The headline stated she was for Brexit.
The content in the article stated she had made anti-Eu statements.
So the complaint could be justified as the Sun headline did not line up with the content.
But that does not deny that she has anti-EU views nor is there a denial that she favours Brexit.
The Palace complaint refers to the story as "Specious".

His end is near, could be 6 days max.
I think it is more than a third.
You flee from #Taliban to the UK & join @UKLabour, suddenly you find yourself in the same party as a terrorists apologist. #FeelingSick
I assume the story is true, in broad if not in detail. However, to jump from the event (HMQ has a pop at the EU) to the headline (HMQ backs Brexit) is unjustified by the evidence, and I assume this is the essence of the Palace complaint.
Incidentally, this is the first famous person where the headline wasn't "Eurosceptic accuses X of scaremongering..."
First the Remainers with Prince William, now Leavers with the Queen.
Another note, I don't think that Trump will win the GE, given the crippled state of the GOP, but whatever he does or says will be televised:

Howard Beale for President.

Sounds like a lot of elite tennis players appear to have dodgy tickers and /or diabetics.

Gillian Duffy, northern working class that are turning their back on Labour. Representative of the people that will probably decide the referendum.
It failed of course but I could see their point - and perhaps HM the Queen does also. Having her subjects and herself turned into 'citizens of the EU' without their explicit consent might be something she considers rather dubious...

As for Lord Bramall, that was a very insidious and clever smoke and mirrors tactic by the establishment, to try to get people to allege that he was involved in abusing children, when no such thing according to my sources occurred........in order to discredit people alleging child abuse about other VIP individuals.
However some days ago I did point out that it was all very well stepping into the limelight as a leadership contender, but then your judgement is put into sharp relief and you run the risk of ruining your chances. A number of people are now wading forward saying look at me look at me. They need to start worrying just what people might think.
PS I am a person that in overall terms, probably benefits from immigration.

It seems to me the table is littered with Leave's dead cats at the moment.
They cannot tell us where they want to leave to.
Rugby union recorded a higher percentage of positive test results than either cycling or athletics in 2013.

And the Irish journo who chased Armstrong for years is convinced it is a massive scandal waiting to happen.
Yes, the day after Brexit, we will return to the medieval age with the population mired in superstition and ignorance and witch trials every week.

But yes, I fail to believe that football is immune to doping. Well it isn't, was it Tunsia? (it was a North African country) where there is good evidence that there is widespread doping among players.
But at the highest level, it seems incredible that given the rigours of the game e.g. how far a modern midfielder runs in a game now, that juicing wouldn't be an attractive option.
Now the Cameron tactics are evil and wrong, they make him an evil Damien McBride lover, using unjustifiable tactics to betray his country
Nothing's changed, just "they don't like it up em"

Are the 27 other EU countries the whole scientific world?
Do we not attract scientists from outside the EU?
Given that all the scientific co-operation projects that we are currently involved with in the EU are also open to non-EU countries why should we singularly be excluded if we leave?
Given that the extra £2.4 billion the scientists refer to as coming from the EU is just our own money given back to us why should it make any difference?
You see this is why these scare stories need to be scorned rather than repeated by supposedly intelligent people. As soon as you start asking the simplest of questions they fall apart.
There seems to be a lot being used by members of this site these days.
How good is it to hear that....
Oh rubbish. If we wanted to we could increase science funding after Brexit and we can offer whatever inducements we want to talented scientists from abroad to come here.
This letter is just partisan arm-waving.
Re Sun story. As I told the journalist this is nonsense. I've no recollection of this happening & its not the sort of thing I would forget
Yep,clegg's reply was a firm it never happened - lol

Love Me Do came out when I was 11, and having just started my career in London, when Abbey Road came out I rushed up to the road crossing on the album cover the day of its release. I was not alone!
Soundtrack of my teenage years.
I still have all the vinyl albums.
