One of the 3 big TV political editors, Beth really is a class above. Compare her to Laura and Peston’s efforts and she’s in another league

Whatever you think about the BBC and ITV's impartiality, there was a clear sign that their Pol Eds didn't probe Mr Cummings properly.

It was Beth Rigby and journalists from smaller organisations who have done the job of the two most senior political journalists in the country this afternoon.

If this ends before 6 then is there any sense in having the Six at 18:30?

Huw is on evening/late today.

Isn't there still meant to be a daily briefing at some point in the next hour or so?

They’ve now forgotten this is actually on TV, and people need a microphone!

They should really have got a man with a boom mic on a stick like on Question Time.

Daily Briefing is supposedly at 6

I imagine the BBC will probably cut away like they usually do if it is overrunning at 6.30pm.

Ah right. So presumably news at least until 19:00 on BBC One. Possibly 19:30...

Only 3 1/2 hours of news on BBC One....

I expect that will go down well on Twitter with all those who complain about the BBC

Dominic Cummings statement produced by ITN Productions, it had a 31 in there as well, it was the old style itn endboard on a blue background.

I can't see them dropping Paddington 2 or EastEnders tonight.

Normal People looks like it could be easily dropped.
