I have a little list

Following on from the previous post, here's a list of the people interviewed on the BBC News Channel after the news began breaking the other day (August 28th) that the Government intends to prorogue Parliament up till 6pm that evening.

Those highlighted in red are the pro-Brexit supporters of Boris's prorogation and, yes, they were heavily outnumbered. But the BBC did invite on three members of the Brexit Party. 

The most curious thing, however, is the extraordinary length of time given to Anna Soubry. Her first interview went on for some 11 minutes. And she got a second (4 minute) bite of the cherry later.
