She's very much in the Moira Stewart mode - competent news reader but anything more complex she seems to struggle, so best suited to weekend bulletins really.Is there a reason why Raworth isn’t seen as the natural successor? From afar, she seems to have both the poise, warmth and personality you might want for a news lead who also does things like elections.
Even before the issues of the last year I've thought a 1999 style realignment would benefit BBC News with dedicated presenters back on the main bulletins - personally I'd have Jane on the 1, Mishal moved to the 6 and Clive on the 10, with Sophie as cover for both evening bulletins. I suspect though the 6/10 will remain more of a team effort which is probably working well enough.
