Isn't BBC WN supposed to be an international news channel, not a news channel broadcast from the UK that's focussed on the intricate details of UK politics?
Speculation online is that something is up. It is very unlike the BBC to simply stay with the commons, during the brexit debates they would cut away as soon as Ian Blackford of the SNP started talking. Yet they have stuck with this for nearly 2 hours now. And like you said, it's being simulcast.
Totally agree with you. It is not as someone else mentioned normal for World to stick with this pretty irrelevant story outside of the UK. Something is up for sure.
Popcorn is at the ready.
