Not a great look for the BBC to lose her so soon after the ‘new’ channel launch. Though her talents always struck me as a bit wasted in the studio in that slot - she is at her best in the field and breaking world news or long-form interviews. The Daily Global feels quite slow and soulless in tempo and agenda compared to News Now/Context, which aren’t great in themselves.

Hopefully they’ll use this as an opportunity to finally use Martine Croxall and the other capable staff who are being employed to twiddle their thumbs…

Anyone else think this is a strange move by Sky? They are arguably the only UK news channel now and so they decide to bring more world news to the channel when the BBC is already pursuing this as a part of cost cutting...
