I presume therefore that News24's flow will be interrupted for this.

A news report at 3:15pm on BBC 2? I would have thought that they would take the statement live??

Scheduling prevents live transmission - Darts live on ONE and the end of a film on TWO.

Sky News are reporting that CK will step down in the short term and will still contest the Leadership election. An interim leader will be appointed to lead the party through the May election cycle.

Yep, very few news stories would lead to the interruption of a programme.

Darts coverage did put a strap up directing viewers to BBC News 24 coverage of the Kennedy statement.

Well with the delay in the press conference it may end up going out live on BBC2.

Edit @ 15:11 - Just as I wrote that it started. Charles Kennedy has now officially resigned and will not be putting his name forward at the forthcoming leadership election.

David Cameron: Will not admit to having taken or not taken Class A drugs. Elected leader by impersonating Blair and delivering fake promises.

Delivering fake promises? How can he deliver any promises, fake or not, if he is not in government?

We need facts not just swipes! Confused
