It’s all over for Theresa May. Even Laura Kuenssberg has turned against her [TWEETS]
Theresa May’s election campaign hasn’t exactly been smooth. In fact, it’s fair to say it’s been a disaster from start to finish. But throughout, she has always appeared to be able to rely on the support of the BBC‘s Laura Kuenssberg.
But tweets from Kuenssberg’s Twitter account seem to reveal that her respect for the Prime Minister is diminishing. Especially in relation to her not turning up for the BBC‘s election debate on 31 May. Kuenssberg retweeted:
@theresa_may They respect you more when you show strength. Or show up. pic.twitter.com/mNXXDKL0xd

She also came very close to praising Corbyn, in recognising that he’d played a blinder in agreeing to do the debate at the last minute:

However Corbyn does tonight deciding to do the debate has certainly moved Labour on from confusion over childcare

And it was clear she was out of the loop:
Thornberry says Corbyn appearance was 'pencilled in on Monday' , 'confirmed on Tuesday' – sources were saying unlikely late last night

This is significant from a woman who was found to have breached the BBC‘s accuracy guidelines in her coverage of Jeremy Corbyn. And she couldn’t even bring herself to report accurately on Corbyn’s proposed tax rises for the wealthy 5%.
It is also very bad news for Theresa May. And it might just be the icing on the cake in making 31 May one of the worst days in an already disastrous campaign. Maybe the end of May really will now be the end of May.
We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
