They have now changed to breaking news mode but with Ben and Kate at the helm it feels more like The One Show does Breaking News. For some reason Ranvir is just sat there at the side doing the other headlines every half an hour. Surely it would make more sense to have Ranvir as a main presenter here and maybe even get Pip Tomson in to help her out as they both have much more news experience than Kate and Ben.
EDIT - Also now wondering how they'll move into the Rick Astley performance.
Horrendous handover to (pre-recorded) Lorraine. From sombrely talking about the confirmation that a fifth police officer has been pronounced dead immediately into Lorraine dancing to The Spice Girls with Dan Wootton. Christ on a bike.
Atrocious ending for todays show, Ben and Kate cut off mid sentence talking about the death of 5 police offers, cutting to pre-recorded Lorraine pratting about with the Spice Girls playing in the background.
Absolutely appalling coverage of the developing breaking news from the US this morning with regards to snipers shooting dead four police officers in Dallas so far (as of 6:30am). While Sky News spent around 20 minutes of the first half hour showing the latest pictures from the scene and showing us statements from those involved, Good Morning Britain mentioned the shootings at the very top of the hour in a minute-long pre-recorded package, and then didn't mention it again until a one-line summary as part of quarter-past the hour 'headlines' round up. To put this into context, they have spent two more minutes talking about Taylor Swift's new relationship than they have about the ongoing shooting situation. That is an absolute joke.
To be fair even Taylor Swift changes her celebrity boyfriend less often than there are mass shootings in the US.
