I think Daisy Sampson has a better ring to it than Daisy McAndrew. Her career is probably over now!! Laughing Laughing


Whoever she is marrying is a very lucky man.


Just incase you do wonder - he is the editor of The Daily Politics. On a related note, has anyone noticed that before TDP broke up, Laura, former roving reporter on the programme, was editiing a few editions?

Just seen the promo for ITV's new political team. Did Daisy used to be Sampson and has presumably now married?

Nice promo there, I'm glad to see a bit of a political partnership...anyone but Libby Wiener.

Just while we're on the shakeup issue, was it mentioned that John Ray has filled Bradby's shoes as UK Editor?

Not mentioned as such, I remember on the day England won the ashes John was live from Belfast (?) and he was 'UK Editor' as said by Mary Nightingale. But I think he was heavily overshadowed by England's victory on that day. By the way, does anybody agree with David Mannion's comments that he will have the better looking political team?

When Bradby's appointment as political editor was announced, they said John Ray would temporarily take up his old role as UK editor, prior to a move to one of the overseas bureaux next year.

Tom and Daisy have just been doing a double-act on the News Channel from Blackpool.

Is this the shape of things to come, then? Instead of one reporter doing a two-way with the studio, we'll have two reporters having a 'chat' about the story?

Sounds like it from their promo. 'Have a bit of fun.'
