I'm not taking away anything from the BBC's efforts in Sunderland today, but it's always Huw who gets stuck somewhere nowhere near the action.
Westminster is in chaos this evening watching all the channels and social media. Never seen anything like it.
Why exactly have they sent Huw to Sunderland?
We hear views from voters in Sunderland (and Wigan, Bolton, Barnsley, Bradford, various other working class places up North) every single day of the year on BBC News
Going off his Twitter, Huw was speaking at the University of Sunderland today, so I guess using him on location given he was already there made sense

It’s not as though Nuala and Maryam (who’ve been covering) both OS and Context won’t have been at NBH.
A pathetic editorial decision that as many have said already just stinks of what’s to come when the merger happens. There is no balance at all at the moment.
I was expecting the two channels to go to Context at 9pm, as Shaun has been on location from College Green for most of the evening now, though of course they didn't. And judging by how quickly events could move with regards to the government and PM, I would suspect that tomorrow will be another day of the NC coming predominantly from Westminster or Downing Street.
