    The childish behaviour against the Greek PM demonstrates a huge lack of judgement.

      I hate how the opposition leader often lets us know he'd also take the wrong positions on issues except that he'd do it... i don't know... in a more PM-like manner or something. It's so depressing to see primary alternatives to the worst leaders also being such uninspiring and unprincipled.

    Greek here, living in the UK for over a decade, so obviously I care a lot about both countries. The parthenon sculptures is an old matter, important for Greece but definitely not a top priority compared to other matters. Obviously even less important for the UK. But here's what should definitely be important for the UK: the lack of leadership or diplomatic skills of our PM, because these apply to everything else as well. No matter how you look at this, this was a big and unnecessary blunter that showed unfounded arrogance and political stupidity. Continuing with the meeting would have cost nothing and could bring something for any of the items on the agenda -their political ideas are actually in tune for most other subjects. Worst case it would bring nothing about anything, as most meetings -and no harm done. Instead he chose to handle it the worst possible way, made headlines in a negative manner, along it pulled more headlines about the very subject that he intended to keep quiet on the shelf, created some tension with a historically and consistently friendly country that might not be big and powerful but it's not irrelevant either, also a country that gets to vote for any EU-UK agreement, gave the chance to his political opposition to point his irrational behaviour and probably caused an eyebrow raise to the hundreds of thoursands Greek and Cypriots here in the UK like me (many of which are also voters). All while his party is 20% behind the opposition in the latest Vote Intent opinion polls. British politicians used to be smarter than that, not sure what happened.

      Why is it so difficult for an Opposition Leader to meaningfully oppose incorrect Tory positions? I don't understand the big fuss he's making while affirming that he would also refuse to return the Parthenon marbles. What, he'd just be more poised or PM-like or whatever in how he'd ultimately take the wrong position on issues?

      How can the video itself be biased based on the title, if the video is literally the exchange that they had with no context-altering cuts? The title may reflect a bit of bias - can you understand why though? Maybe because the general public does not support Rishi so seeing a video titled this way will draw more views? It's more "clickbait" than it is "biased"
