Could it perhaps be that the EU has suddenly realized Brexit is going to leave a dirty great hole in its budget? The question, in itself, has nothing to do with BBC bias - unless,of course, the BBC fails to ask it!

They all hated him after Iraq, and now this pathetic volte face all because he's useful to push the EU agenda, and well, I'm having a good laugh about it.<br /><br />I wonder if any of them feel a bit dirty now. As you show, it's a boon to the Corbynistas as well, so bonus points in a weird way.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
