The Daily Politics

Interesting to see Jon Sopel doing The Daily Politics today - has he done it before?

He was due to be doing it today anyway before this morning's announcement.

Yep, he has indeed.

I remember a time well Mr Sopel was a regular Political Correspondent before going over to the land formly known as "France" and been the Capitals correspondent.
Oh just out of interest is Allan Little still Paris Correspondent?

Jon Sopel's OK, but I prefer Andrew Neil.

Do you ever watch This Week, after Question Time? I think he's fantastic particulary when you throw in Ms Abbott and Mr Portillio. Sheer brilliance.

I like his intro - he always says ' Evening all ... '. And he always connects Diane and Michael to top newsmakers, for instance last Thursday we had ' The Charles and Camilla of late night television '.

I find him rather refreshing compared with most other political commentators. He's livly and sarcastic, a unique mix plus you can't beat Diane Abbott for banter. Wish she'd come down to our consituency and take over as we have a UKIP, a Tory and Bliar right candidate all of which are utter morrons.
Mark Mardel is also brillaint on the programme. Overall a very educated, livly and generally well put together programme, pitty about the timing though. Although I have discovered its repeated on BBC Parliament on Friday evening at about 5ish.

Yes, I do watch This Week on Thursday nights. I love the chemistry between Andrew, Diane and Michael. It's a shame it's not on prime-time TV. I think it should be braodcast some time between 8pm and 10pm on Thursday before Question Time, it would be a ratings winner.

Yes, Andrew's intros always make me laugh. They make Diane laugh as well, she's always laughing her head off when he says them.
