I saw another poll or stats I think it was on GB News which suggested immigration was up there if not the main issue.
Depends what source you source perhaps.
Not sure what you’re on about, Richard.
GB News is a highly respected, objective and intellectually robust source of informa…
Nah; I couldn’t finish typing the sentence without laughing.
GB News is obviously too centre ground for you, or you just don’t watch it as you have been told by the left it’s far right propaganda.
Seems you much prefer the far left BBC or Guardian as your main sources, and you need to bring other sources into your life to provide some sort of view from the other side.
Here’s YouGov, similar figures for economy and immigration.

That’s two sources, neither of which have anything to do with the BBC or Guardian. Neither of those is ‘far left’ by the way, especially not the BBC. Have a look at them, it might provide some sort of balance
NatCen’s (National Centre Social Research) latest “British Social Attitudes” survey (link below) deals with issues discussed here.
You may consider having a glance to get an alternative perspective to what’s covered by mainstream media..
“Each year NatCen’s British Social Attitudes survey asks over 3,000 people what it’s like to live in Britain and what they think about how Britain is run.
Since 1983 we’ve been measuring and tracking changes in people’s social, political and moral attitudes.
The survey is a critical gauge of public opinion, and is used by the Government, journalists, opinion formers and academics.”

I keep reading on Twitter that the BBC is far left and Sky’s Beth Rigby is a “Labour activist.”
But the same channels and people slaughtered Corbyn for being unelectably right wing.
I think they’re now slaughtering Truss for being unsustainably right wing.
They attack the extremes of politics because the majority of viewers are in the centre.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I’m pretty pi**ed off that the Independant sold off the I to the Daily Mail.
I like to think the Independant hits the middle ground, so why sell off the I
to the DMGT who are ever so slightly right of Genghis Khan ??I do wonder how far to the right of the BBC you have to be to consider it ‘far left’. The idea is simply complete rubbish. You may or may not consider it biased but if there is any, it isn’t a huge amount one way or the other.
“They attack the extremes of politics because the majority of viewers are in the centre.”
The BBC did not like Corbyn because they knew he was the main thing preventing a Labour government.
Agree with Jenkins that if the Conservatives are going to get rid of Truss they need to do it quickly – but the idea Michael Gove would unite the party or appeal to the public is absolutely batsh*t crazy.
“The BBC did not like Corbyn because they knew he was the main thing preventing a Labour government.”
That’s an interesting theory which I can’t disprove.
All I would say is I think the BBC has no overall policy and if it favours one Party it’s staff don’t all sing from the same hymn sheet.
The channel has employed Jeremy Paxman and Andrew Neil whose politics are I suspect different from those of former employees Andrew Marr and Lewis Goodall.
Laura K was never hard on Boris Johnson.
At a lower level my local radio breakfast show anchor is clearly Conservative.
I think the BBC employs all sorts tbh.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Interesting opinion item by Simon Jenkins but Michael Gove is possibly the most shameless backstabber in British political history – his own left hand cannot trust what his own right hand is doing.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Well, he lied about his own father during the referendum and his father had to publicly state that what his son had said wasn’t true.
“I consider myself one of Britain’s finest liars.”
It’s a line from Blackadder, but it always makes me think of Gove.
