"because there are pool arrangements" suggests that there are agreements in place to pool resources in the collection of data for news stories - so he shouldnt have been there. Fairly straightforward really and says more about the sky news reporter than anyone. Thankfully I dont support them with any of my money...
Imagine say that it was a union agreement and management had someone in the room who wasnt part of that agreement, would you want them to stay then?
1 out of 10 on the points scoring scale, and that for effort so early....

Good to see these issues are what matters. I?m sure SKS has never made a gaffe?

As someone who reportedly enjoyed the benefits of a US Green Card. And as someone who reportedly has spend considerable time in the US and may well decide to head back. And as someone who has been reportedly lined up for a kicking by his own party. Sunak calling a General Election to take place on American Independence Day could turn out to be a fairly 'world beating' middle finger to those in his own party who seem likely to be shown the door on American Independence Day.

I for one will be more than a bit miffed if Starmer announces that he will continue the arrangement whereby the very, very rich are able to take 30% profit from public funded schemes under Labour (PPA scheme; 30% profit as norm was allegedly reported by an entrepreneur during the covid enquiry).
If Starmer stops spaffing 30% of public money to the super rich, that would equate to a fairly significant difference in economic policy in my book. And a very welcomed one.

Instead they can spaff it on other things, all politicians have their own pet projects and Labour will have theirs. In fact several for all different wings of the party!

So much for all his performative patriotism, then. And won't he be essentially a migrant in the US?
Either way it's noticeable there's no mention of Brexit as one of his 'successes' from Sunak's lips thus far...

Maybe it's me, but allegedly allowing the super rich to take 30% of the tax payers pot for PPA in a national crisis such as the pandemic a 'pet project'. Not how I'd describe it.
Maybe another reason for the panic election might be the timing of the publication of the Covid enquiry report?

So now it?s ok to quote the Express report from GB News sources? With the Mail too for added irony.
