I see people have quite strong opinions about an international-facing news channel using neutral terminology. Mine is that the British-facing news channel should use British terminology.
I agree with you - it sounds ridiculous to a UK audience for the NC to call Jeremy Hunt Britain’s finance minister, but it’s perfectly legitimate and indeed sensible for news agencies whose clients are based all over the world to do it.
