So the govt. are now restricting journalists' access to lobby briefings, and have been doing so for the past six months. Surely this is the thin end of a pretty nasty wedge? Don't want to get all dramatic but withholding information from selected publications/journalists doesn't smell like good democracy.
Apparently, the reason for doing this is to give access to more 'heavyweight' journalists. If this is true, why is Sky News on the accepted list and the Independent/PoliticsHome not?
All getting a bit Trumpesque from Johnson and Cummings. |  |

Your use of the word 'lobby'..is that 'to lobby' or the beautiful space where you can touch an old man's hand/foot, can't remember? (statue)
I'm not comfortable if it's the latter. Happy to have allsorts doing their thing. |  |

They would not need to do this if they were confident, hopefully the excluded media will be able to deduce Government actions and intentions by other means (and will have the excuse of not being told the full story when they get it wrong - unlike The Daily Express being given the full story yet still getting it wrong). |  |

They won't send anyone on the Today programme and stopped sending people to Sky news after Burley empty-chaired Cleverly - it's very worrying |  |

To be fair, avoiding Kay Burley is just good sense. | |

But let's not forget, it's a victory for democracy and the will of well under half of the people. And as you say, just like a hard Brexit it was what we clearly gave a mandate for. |  |

Oh no, they love Phil 'Soft Touch' Ham and his questions about the injured Ginger Bishop. It's the big hitters from the EADT who'll be first out the door. | |

this is quite a defeat for No 10 and does not bode well for the future given how many U turns, back sliding and broken promises have happen in the first few weeks of their administration
and we still have the report on Russian interference and the Acuri allegations to come out | | | |
