At least on LBC someone like Nick Farrari who’s known to be more Conservative leaning would follow up and challenge an MP or follow up on something from what I’ve seen. From a televisual perspective I don’t see the point of allowing someone to do a glorified speech, apart from which is probably partly the case that they probably wouldn’t agree to do it if it was going to be difficult. Though maybe Sunak would agree because he’s not risking anything if polling is to be believed.
