Saying Starmer is boring but calling the Conservatives '****pigs' isn't balanced and is very difficult to make it so. Not that Sky could or would be able to edit it to make it compliant, especially when it can be shown in a fortnights time with no problems
The entire segment starts with Sunak calling the election and the rain. He then covers the Lib Dems, Labour, Reform and the Conservatives in order. He makes a bunch of jokes about Davey's stunts, basically calls Starmer the most boring person alive and says no-one can name any of his policies but he's gonna win anyway. Then he goes into Reform & Farage's history, and does the same with the Conservatives.
I suspect the problem is due weight of the attacks (They are certainly more stacked in a certain direction than the other) and the fact he states that's basically impossible for Starmer to lose at this point.
