All Out Politics was so much easier to watch with Niall Paterson this morning. Adam Boulton really needs to retire IMHO.


Completely agree. its unwatchable with him presenting it. its basically 2 hours of his views, his remain bias which has been so obvious from referendum night onwards. he asks a question then instantly interrupts everyone, tries to put words in peoples mouths. I don't agree with the hate he gets on Twitter but he does himself no favours with his interview style of constantly talking over people seconds into an answer and continues to do so until the interviewee stops talking. stick him back in Downing Street he used to be a good reporter who seemed to live there at one point. The only presenting I like to watch him on is election night or referendum night. it wouldn't feel right without him doing it but day to day I find him irritating to watch and find myself saying shut up let him / her speak

Rubbish, he asks tough questions to politicians on both sides of the Brexit debate. His questioning just makes it clear that Brexiteers fantasies do not stand up to even the smallest amount of scrutiny.

Yes, and there was more variation and creativity of camera shots in that 10 minutes than the whole day put together, including tracking camera moves and a clip from the camera pointing into the glass box from outside showing them looking at something on the screen.

I didn't watch, but I assume it's for their 'Deep Ocean Live' show, where they're planning to break the world record for deepest TV show done from a submersible or something

Is it just me, but whenever I hear Martha Kelner voicing reports I hear Philomena Cunk!!

And yesterday she used the American 'pled' rather the the British 'pleaded'.

Gamal's pronunciation has been a bit dodgy recently, too. Yesterday, it was Addis a bah bah.

Adam Boulton is getting worse on All out politics he constantly talked over Iain Duncan Smith and I hate they way he smugly smiles when he talks about revoking article 50. he has struggled to hide his remain bias since the night of the referendum and you see his eyes light up at the thought of Brexit been stopped completely. impartial I think not. The media as a whole have been a disgrace in not holding politicians to account for what they have done over the last few weeks but then they are part of the London bubble who mostly voted remain so we can't be surprised

Regardless of who he interviews he needs to just shut up and let people speak before hold on hold on er er er my opinion my time my show. His interviews are becoming unwatchable.. No other Sky presenter constantly talks over and cuts off guests like he does and sometimes it just becomes a wall of noise. its 2 hours of news debate and my option from the heart of Westminster should be the new opening line to the show. sooner he gets replaced by someone who will actually let people get a word in the better. He used to be a great reporter and amazing political editor but as a presenter he's not for me. election night is the exception. it wouldn't feel right without him presenting it

and on another note does anyone find it irritating how Mark Austin constantly says er and um during every sentence when he goes off script
