What are the odds they'll have made it into an ident by the end of the day?


I'm not sure its necessarily something they would want to promote or encourage. The very kind policeman also had his back to camera the whole time and mumbled too. He was no Noel Gallagher.

Success! Kay's link at Westminster just went down.

Anna Jones anchoring in the studio - good to see her presenting, it's a shame shes stuck with business news.

That's because it was poisoned.

Burley just looks ridiculous in that snow, let's be honest. He brought the coffee to her to give her a hint - just get indoors you're a complete idiot.

On another point, yet another day of pointless political speculation and endless contributions from political editors of the various national newspapers. So boring.

Makes a change from them spending the whole day talking about snow, though.

That's why Kay Burley is out in the snow. It makes a boring story ever so slighty less boring. Its why we are watching Sky News and not BBC News this afternoon.

"Still to come...we're going to be taking you down to South Africa to find out what England's batsmen have been up to, do stay tuned."

A few moments later...

"Did you say batsmen or bowlers I can't remember?"

Those ads can't come quick enough can they?

Turns out Kay Burley didn't get the exclusive on the offer of coffee. There is a video on Sky News Active where some people offer Colin Brazier a cup of coffee. I can't see it properly as my picture is breaking up due to snow on the dish. For some reason, only Burley's coffee video is available on Sky's website.

BREAKING NEWS: I just managed to see the Colin Brazier video and one of the people says the magic phrase "My daughter saw you on Sky News". Expect to see this used as a promo.

I thought Sky was a lot more informative than the BBC this afternoon, the contributions from political correspondents from various newspapers and Sky's own reporters were great, there seemed to be a lot more pace to their coverage aswell.

I'm assuming that Adam Boulton is on holiday, as i thought he would have been the first to be on air with this story.

I'm normally quick to criticise Kay Burley but I was pretty impressed with her today. Good Sky coverage of this attempted "coup" today.

Love how now that Sky News provide national news bulletins for Independent radio they are advising people to 'tune to commercial radio' in a BBC local radio kind of way for the very latest on the snow.
