[Newsroom]

BBC News full of energy this morning, Nancy kacungira live from Westminster with Rob Watson and Jonathan Blake in the newsroom. All doing a great job reviewing the report. It’s going out on ‘World’ too.

I have to disagree. 

What is the point in having two correspondents in the Newsroom? This coverage isn't energetic, it's diabolical. Sky News had their Pol Ed in the studio at Westminster and an array of top guests ready to go. The BBC have a relatively unknown presenter on College Green with awful sound and camera set up. I noted the presenters choice of outfit blending with the scorched yellow grass in the background. 

It's another example of how the BBC have cut back so so much (yes, because it felt the NC should go before any other channel) that they just can't afford to run a UK service fit for purpose!

Where are the senior BBC correspondents on this story - Nick Eardley, Vicky Young, Chris Mason etc... 

They've just shown a page from their website with Chris Mason's notes. What is this?

On another note - I hope Ian Blackford is issued with an apology for his suspension!
