He "analyzed" the election on RNZ this morning.

With the Conservative Party recording a resounding victory in the UK general election, we ask what happens now to Boris Johnson's Brexit deal to remove the UK from the European Union? How did the campaign go so spectacularly wrong for Labour and its leader Jeremy Corbyn? And what about some of the other major issues- the future of the NHS, spending on education and policing, and the lingering question of Scottish independence- how have these been affected by the vote?
To answer these questions and more we speak to Professor Richard G. Whitman and Jonathan Freedland.
Jonathan Freedland is a British journalist, who writes a weekly column for The Guardian. He presents BBC Radio 4's contemporary history series, The Long View, and also writes thrillers, mainly under the pseudonym Sam Bourne.
Professor Richard G Whitman is an associate fellow of the Europe Programme at Chatham House (formerly known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs. He is also the director of the Global Europe Centre and professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent.
Dear Kim,
Jonathan Freedland??!!?
After listening to that arch-fantasist and traducer Jonathan Freedland this morning, the question arises: who's going to be your next "expert" to "analyse" British politics? Nigel Farage? Tommy Robinson? Margaret Hodge?
Your---or your producer's---decision to pretend that Freedland is a reputable or reliable analyst is not a surprise, unfortunately. Freedland, as dishonest and viciously partisan as he is, is no better or worse than the equally dodgy Luke Harding.
Yours in profound disappointment,
Morrissey Breen Northcote Point
