Victoria Derbyshire in studio K this morning as “studio B is broken”!


Hopefully everything will be ironed out by 9.55 tomorrow, given these two other tidbits:

From the Guardian article yesterday:
"Last week all the results servers blew up, yesterday all the outside broadcast blew up."

So one of Boris's aides swore at the reporter on GMB this morning.

No apology immediately broadcast, though I Piers and Susanna's shocked reaction gets the point across.


I actually saw this live, by accident really. Quite honestly GMB were mucking about as if it was mischief on a 70s Saturday morning childrens' show. The reporter was calling Johnson, Boris, and the whole thing lacked any professional broadcasting standards. They all deserve each other in my opinion,

Actually that's a thing I've noticed with most of the broadcasters and journalists this election. It's always Mr. Corbyn, Ms. Swinson, Ms. Sturgeon, Mr. Farage. But only a few times have I heard Mr. Johnson, most of the time it is Boris.

They're not dealing with a professional though when they're dealing with a Prime Minister hiding in a fridge.

It's all part of the branding and trying to make him seem to be less of an out of touch eton man-child and more of a mate you like to laugh at down the pub. And all the media have jumped on it like a new toy.

Having watched the incident live and from the start, he wasn't hiding in a fridge, he was preparing to perform a 'photo opportunity' at a milk depot. GMB attempted to doorstep him, and his minder got annoyed (so would I have done in the circumstances) and said 'FFS' (as if that's a crime during an unsolicited live broadcast). They were calling him 'Boris', (which is just pandering to the marketing image of him). As I said, just an appalling ill conceived idea, that made GMB look like a bunch of childish muppets. Yes, Mr Johnson himself acts like a childish muppet, but demeaning yourself to his level doesn't help anybody, not least all the viewers who are still undecided.

The IBA must be turning in their grave
