Been watching Sky for the past hour or so and Beth is really good, not sure what it is about her but she is really watchable.


The combination of her trying to report back to Rebecca into the studio whilst simultaneously shouting at people walking into Number 10 is certainly err... interesting to watch. Nonetheless, I agree she really is watchable.

She's a great reporter. Has a serious tone in her voice but also charming at the same time - quite the mix, but works well on television news.

I think Sky have got a great mix of reporters and correspondents at the moment. Totally agree about Beth.

That could be because this reshuffle might be completely irrelevant after tomorrow evening. Depends what happens with the Backbench 1922 Committee.

Meeting of the Conservative MPs tomorrow at 5pm. I suspect this has been brought forward from its regular day and time by the 1922 committee and think it might spell the end of Theresa May's premiership.

What does this mean if the 1922 Committee decide to end Theresa May premiership, would this trigger another election or perhaps an MP taking the reins as PM?

It would essentially be the same as when David Cameron resigned. It's a party matter, not a governmental one.

Of course, without a comfortable majority pressure could be put on the next leader of the party to get another mandate from the country to negotiate Brexit, especially when Theresa May made the Conservative campaign all about her. Secondly, if the DUP didn't like the next leader, their informal support could be withdrawn making it harder to pass laws and deliver Brexit.

It would be a difficult balancing act, would the DUP like to do business with the next leader, would the next leader have a mandate to deliver, and would any party press for another election and annoy the public? I guess the Sky Results Centre may stay in place a little longer just incase.

Really? I thought it was dreadful. Consisted of the anchor feeding all the news as it broke to the correspondent on Downing Street, who might as well had not been there.
bilky asko and TROGGLES gave kudos
