Amusingly for someone who's been on the Andrew Marr show 11 times in the past five years alone (18 times in total since the programme began), Baroness Chakrabarti even complained about the Andrew Marr show's choice of guests:
SHAMI CHAKRABARTI: I think sometimes we haven't had the fairest or the most balanced treatment in the media, including in the broadcast media...The other Labour LP in question, by the way, was Caroline Flint - a second Blairite - so Shami did have a point - if also a lot of cheek!
ANDREW MARR (interrupting): As you know, the left has always said it's the media...
SHAMI CHAKRABARTI: No, no...
ANDREW MARR: ...for hundreds of years.
SHAMI CHAKRABARTI: I'm not blaming the media. I'm just saying that the disunity has been the focus...I mean, even on your programme last week, a few days before a by-election in two Brexit seats, there wasn't a single person on the programme speaking for the leadership...
ANDREW MARR (interrupting): There was a well-represented Labour MP on the paper review, who was...
SHAMI CHAKRABARTI: And you had Lord Mandelson...
ANDREW MARR (interrupting): Yeah, we're allowed to have Lord Mandelson, aren't we?
SHAMI CHAKRABARTI: You are allowed to have whoever you like, but it wasn't, if I may say so, you know, the fairest balance a few days before a by-election in two Labour Brexit seats.
