We wish him well and have no doubt that he will be a brilliant addition to the Newsnight team. You can read Duncan’s Left Foot Forward archive here.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Does anyone recall an article on this site a few weeks back denying there was any Left wing bias whatsoever at the BBC?

So if right wingers had their way, we’d presumably only have their sort at the BBC, and it would be turned into a UK Fox News – or they’d just flog it to Murdoch. Of course there are loads of Conservatives in prominent positions at the Beeb such as Nick Robinson and Chris Patten. But the Right love whining and pretending to be victims.
