Tom Bradby and Daisy McAndrew: ITV News

A very good choice in Tom Bradby I think. I'd guess he's probably the youngest political editor they've had, plus on TV in general? It seems to be a move to make politics more appealing and interesting, which explains the appointment of Daisy Sampson as well I suppose. Let's just hope it doesn't become as cringeworthy as the BBC's attempts with the Daily Politics and This Week.

I think he's about the same age Nick Robinson was when he was appointed - Bradby's 38 now, Robinson is 41.

Really? I always got the impression he was younger than that. Oh well, there goes my theory

Bradby is a very poor reporter and correspondent IMO. However, nothing that ITN does these days really surprises me any more. They are extremely shoddy and lack credibility.

In your opinion maybe. To be honest, shoddy is one word I'd use to describe BBC News, but then again that's my opinion.

Just how many different roles has Bradby got at the moment anyway? Hes described as UK editor, Royal Correspondent, and on other occaisions hes just a general reporter. As BBC WORLD said, hes an awful reporter, and for me this appointment is just another reason not to watch ITV news.

I'd rather have seen Sampson put up as political editor, Ray put up as chief political (though I can't stand him) and Bradby put up as far into the Queen's arse as his head will fit. I cannot bear him, or indeed any ''royal'' correspondents.

A good choice I think, and not at all surprising. Some of his reports over the last few days suggest he will slot in very well to his new job. Perhaps closer in style to Micahel Brunson than John Sergeant or Nick Robinson - it will be interesting to see. Would expect him to be there longer than his two predecessors. Wonder if he's going to write any more books.

Not sure why people are wondering whether John Ray is Senior Politiical Correspondent, or suggesting he should be. As one contributor has said, he already is, but presumably is getting a new job - replacing Bradby maybe.

Well I knew it was only a matter of time before ITN took Daisy Sampson, this will be a good career move for her. And then in a few years time back to Auntie Beeb!!

Good news another boring reporter matched to an equally boring subject.

As for 'scabson ' this is good news , I dont watch the itv bulletins so she'll be easy to miss and I can listen to LBC again without hearing her domestic drivel and 'bum' stories.

So not a bad result.
