Fiona Phillips this morning

[andymadmak]

Did anyone hear her on R2 breakfast show this morning? Doing the paper review for Richard Madeley (who's standing in for Evans)
Is it my imagination, or is she a little left leaning?

[fido]

She comes across as a bit stupid and reactionary, so yes i suppose that puts her firmly in the Nu Labour camp - not sure if that's left-leaning, more a product of the last decade's politics.

[V88Dicky]

Is she ever. Fawning over Tony Bliar when she met him a few years back, claiming he was the best person she ever interviewed! The stupid slag.

[y2blade]

she comes across as a complete airhead if you ask me

[dumbfunk]

You are Joseph McCarthy and I claim my £5.

[Dunk76]

Isn't she married to one of the Labour spin doctors?

No, that's the other vacuous lefty bint Garraway.

Yr probably thinking of Kate Garroway who's married to that odious ter-watt Derek "Dolly" Draper.

Bliar offered her a life peerage

[V88Dicky]

Its unusual for the BBC to have someone left-leaning to review the papers. Normally these things are done completely impartially.

Ah yes, that was what I was thinking of...

Utterly ridiculous.

[CommanderJameson]

She was talking utter drivel about bankers yesterday, and utter drivel about child benefit this morning.

I don't think it's your imagination.

Still, she had a few hundred k a year income so a fairly "of the people" type.... F***ng hypocrite.

I didn't hear her but was the £600,000 (as of 2008) salaried Ms Phillips moaning that she would lose her benefits?

At least Garraway has a nice set of norks. [phmode off]

[turbobloke]

Fiona is a well-known nulab fan, but seeing her in the taxi queue at Manchester Piccadilly the other day, my she's keeping quite well as left-leaning national monuments go.
