It’s a poorly worded question absolutely, and she probably needs to think about her interviewing technique a bit, but “and put Jeremy Corbyn in power” sounds to me like it’s another clause.
you’re going to fail the country on Brexit, and the consequence for you is Jeremy Corbyn will end up in power.
Yup - I just watched the section leading up to the question and provides some background to the point she was making to Grieve - and included the other two on the panel.
The point I was making is that I’m all for pointing out and exposing bias but if you’re going to do that, don’t use such a blinkered and fallible methodology. Do it objectively. You could frame a single 10 second sounbite in any number of ways simply by removing the context its framed within.
The BBC isn’t perfect, at all, but this example is bullshit in my view. Perhaps poorly worded as @anon76851889 points out, but the actual question was rather different to the one the ha’penny bit on Twitter was accusing Maitlis of asking.
Thing is, whilst I don’t particularly like Neil that much, I can’t see what the difference between this and, say, Gary Lineker posting a load of Liberal stuff on his timeline.
Whilst Neil is much more Conservative and therefore less palatable to folk like us, there is, objectively, little difference.
