As a casual viewer, i cringe at these weekend politics shows and ask myself if the nation needs to be discussing politics at 9am on a Sunday morning?

When it was more of a Sunday broadsheet paper, with a warm host, warm studio, sat in armchairs, a bit of news to get you up to date, a chat about the papers, a political interview but also other items, it was a nice way to start a Sunday

A cold host in a cold studio, argumentative politics interviews throughout except for a bit where they talk about space travel for 5 minutes on zoom, and a panel of deliberately partisan commentators, the same people you’ve already seen that week no doubt, also arguing, only booked because you know they’ll say something extreme which will be ideal to clip up and go viral on Twitter, is less pleasant 

By 10am many people are probably all worked up and annoyed, which is good for those people who talk politics on Twitter 24/7 which seems to be who these endless ‘panel’ shows are aimed at, but not ideal for everyone else when it’s meant to be a relaxing day
