Blair leaving > Brown incoming - 27 Jun 2007

Currently scheduled to be Paxman.

Well responding to such correspondence wouldn't take Blair very long would it

And he should know as he normally talks out of his !!

As News Junkies, I think we are actually all privately enjoying the coverage this story is getting.

On BBCW and CNNI, it is hardly mentioned. When I flip over to Sky News though - blimey!!

Blair and Brown are mentioned every three minutes on average. But, then again, one assumes that a change in national leader under these circumstances is quite a big news story.

Did anyone happen to see the outfit Peter Spencer was wearing at Westminster yesterday to report the story?

Classic!

Good old Sky News - never wrong for long - had breaking news for the last half hour that Alan Johnson had won! News 24 beat them to the real winner, Harriet Harman.

Sky Sources: Alan Johnson winner
Sky Sources: Harriet Harman winner

Which do we believe!?

Seems that Sky Sources = BBC News 24

Hope she's been practicing her left hook!

I notice News 24 have a loop on their ticker for the breaking news. Why do they feel the need to show it with a strap directly above it?

Only after Sky had checked what News 24 were saying - until that they had Alan Johnson as the winner!

What were the odds, had I put a bet on Harman?

Well The Daily Politics will be extended...Andrew just said that they'll be on air from 11am tomorrow, with Roy Hatersley, Charles Kenedy, and IDS joining him on the sofa.
Coverage then switches to BBC One at 12.35 - 3pm - A BBC News special

will the new pm be having an audience with the labour party candidate for church ward, bury, mr shatliff and his companion lucky?

i am keen for gordon to clarify his position on granada reports, history. the holocaust, the english civil war and some parts of the royal family.
