I too would be very surprised if it was anyone other than Laura as the BBC’s chief politics presenter, although it’s interesting to see The Times suggest more of a ‘team’ approach is being considered. Has the BBC’s election coverage ever been double headed?

I could potentially see Victoria Derbyshire in the interview role, with Reeta on the touchscreen and Sophie with the map outside NBH as per the last election.

Another interesting factor is whether we are looking at the US Election the week before - would it be logistically possible for the BBC to use Studio B for both?

As the US coverage is split between London and Washington they don’t technically need a huge studio presence in NBH, so I guess they could use E assuming it’s spruce up is finished by then.

I wonder if say Clive could present the US Election from London, then everyone has some kind of role over the course of the month?

I would be very surprised if the US Election coverage isn't headed up by Katty and Christian in DC, with someone else on touchscreen/graphics duty in London, particularly if the counting drags on for 4+ days like it did last time
