OCTOBER'S I.C.s - EMILY MAITLIS AND GAVIN ESLER

*
It's been a very quiet month for Newsnight's Emily Maitlis, with only 4 interviews to record:
*
14/10 Bill Rammell Labour 1.3
14/10 Caroline Lucas Green 0.9
14/10 Zak Goldsmith Conservative 0.7
16/10 David Miliband Labour 0.5
*
From the 21 interviews covered since June, we can derive these super-averages for Emily:
*
UKIP (1) - 1.5
Labour (8) - 0.86
Conservatives (5) - 0.68
Greens (2) - 0.45
Lib Dems (3) - 0.3
*

*
Gavin Esler has been another near-absentee in October, with only one interview:
*
15/10 Emily Thornberry Labour 2.3

Looking at all of Gav's interviews over the last 5 months, this one was not typical (as you would expect, I suspect!). Here are his super-averages:
*
Conservatives (6) - 1.27
SNP (2) - 1.05
Labour (16) - 0.82
Lib Dems (1) - 0.8
*
That an anti-Conservative bias is indicated is hardly surprising. Gavin is a known leftie. (For more, please see http://beebbiascraig.blogspot.com/search/label/Gavin%20Esler).
