Boulton "I actually care about this election" Alastair Campbell has his own hidden agenda and Boulton seems to be the only one to bring this up which means campbell dosen't like it

Adam Boulton is fast loosing any credibility as a journalist and has seriously grated on my during the past few weeks!

Acting like a couple of schoolchildren, with Boulton almost screaming, "you don't tell me what I think, you don't tell me what I think!"

That was extraordinary, I actually thought Adam might hit him. Looks as though even the director/JT were concerned as they moved on to a replay on Brown's speech.

I reckon Adam Boulton and Alistair Campbell maybe don’t like each other…

They had a spat on election night, with Campbell accusing Sky of bias throughout the campaign, it was down the line though

Missed this one, hope it appears on YouTube at some point

Another YouTube moment there.

Adam went way, way over the line - fair enough he was making the point that he is impatial after Alastair's comment about Sky being upset the Tory's won't be in power, but Adam just lost it at the end!

Classic Jeremy trying to keep the peace.

You idiot, what has he done? He's told someone with a massive ego(Alastair Campbell) what he really is

They had a similar confrontation on election night. But, for me that was embarrassing on Boulton's part. Totally losing it.

That was great live TV - I thought Adam was going to hit Campbell - now that would have been the TV and political highlight of the year! I have never laughed so much in a long time. Very Happy

Jeff Randall has gone down in my estimation - he basically said that the markets will only accept a Conservative government and nothing else otherwise they will have the heebee geebees - melodramatic tripemv- either he is impartial or he is replaced Exclamation

I agree it was inappropriate on Boulton's part, getting a bit aggressive. His behaviour was far worse than anything Kay Burley has been accused of.

Totally agree, I've never understood what qualifies Randall to say half of what he does...

This one has been bubbling up for a long time I feel. Adam sadly overstepped the mark.

JT handled it best he could.
