    How embarrassing, it’s painful to listen to. He appears to be a decent human being but totally out of his depth “Political Editor” incapable of developing a theme just reading a series of uncoordinated questions listed in his notebook.

    Sorry GB News but not up to his job.

  • Sort the sound out

    Maybe sort out the sound and dialogue issues and then I’d then be able to hear what the other guests say clearly. Ask them to speak into the microphone. Embarrassingly poor quality.
