No, the FT should be taken at face value for writing the truth.

I don't read the FT but it is a respected newspaper and should not be referred to as a 'remain' paper.

There is plenty to the FT apart from its view on brexit which is its informed opinion.

How PE should we regard 'leave' newspapers, perhaps with more than just a 'pinch of salt'?

We are all quite entitled to our opinion on brexit.

Funny how they rarely/never mention Draghi's continued policy of printing currency (from thin-air) to prop-up what would be a failing economic system?
The FT, as with many publications, have their own agenda.

I think printing money to prop up a failing economic system is here to stay, regardless of remain or leave!!

Every paper is clear on where it stands on Brexit. Yet the FT for some time has pretended to be neutral. That is my point.

We all have 'confirmation bias' so read the same media outlets. I often try to check the facts from other sources before believing everything I read.

The broadcast media all follow the same narrative, but at least you get differing opinions in the papers and it's obvious on their bias.

Don't follow you I think the FT may have been neutral as you say and now possibly 'remain' but that's how they see it now.

It's quite up to them to have a different view now and also we can too.

I'll say it again then.

The FT has always been 'remain' but has, and still does, pretend to be neutral.

Yes I know! I didn't say otherwise.

MPs approved unopposed Labour's motion which asked for a "humble address" requesting the Queen to direct Brexit Secretary David Davis to release the documents.

I have never heard of 'humble address' before is it binding upon the government?

The opposition doing well here.

Which is fine until the bubble bursts.
Without fail, every debt bubble bursts and today we face the biggest in history.
This is why Brexit, imo, is irrelevant to what lies ahead.

Why would the FT want to 'pretend to be neutral'?

Your evidence that this is so please.

1) Lionel barber on BBC's This Week: "We’re an international newspaper, we don’t carry water… You know what we do we don’t carry flags around when we’re reporting for the FT. What we do is report the facts. We don’t just report what the Commission does."

2) The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism stated the papers with the most pro-remain articles were, the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mirror.
