Mishal and Jane are by far the best two options that the BBC have if an election was called tomorrow.
Of those currently with the BBC - Christian Fraser is a person I could imagine fitting the role well; the same for Jane Hill and Mishal Hussain.
As for royal events and things like Remembrance Sunday I’d be surprised if these went to anyone but Kirsty Young in the short term.
