The BBC has set its election night coverage for the July 4 poll as broadcasters battle to secure debates with Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer as soon as possible.
Established presenters Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie will helm the BBC’s coverage in six weeks time, replacing Huw Edwards, who resigned from the BBC last month following a scandal involving his allegedly paying a young person for explicit images.
Kuenssberg, who hosts a topical Sunday show, and newsreader Myrie, will “bring insight, experience – and perhaps a little wit” alongside BBC political editor Chris Mason, according to the BBC, whose announcement on the coverage was always expected today.
Others set to feature on the night include Reeta Chakrabarti and Jeremy Vine analyzing results with the famous ‘swingometer’, Kirsty Wark, Fiona Bruce, Victoria Derbyshire, Naga Munchetty, Nick Watt and Alex Forsyth. Nick Robinson and Rachel Burden will be on the radio and Martin Geissler,...

Ipso has received thousands of complaints over Jeremy Clarkson’s column about Meghan Markle in The Sun.
Speaking to BBC News, a representative for Ipso – the independent press standards organisation – said that the complaints are being assessed in accordance with its standard procedure.
In an op-ed for The Sun, published on Friday (16 December), Clarkson, 62, wrote that he despises the Duchess of Sussex on “a cellular level”.
He continued by writing that he dreams of the day Markle is made to parade naked through Britain while the crowd chants “shame” and throws “excrement” at her.
The former Top Gear presenter claimed that “everyone who’s my age thinks the same way”.
His comments have sparked widespread backlash. Public figures including John Bishop, Carol Voderman, Philip Pullman and his daughter Emily have expressed their horror at Clarkson’s rant.

Several celebrities and public figures have fiercely condemned Jeremy Clarkson’s “vile” and “hateful” rant against Meghan Markle in a newspaper column.
In an op-ed for The Sun published on Friday (16 December), Clarkson wrote that he loathes the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and wants people to “throw lumps of excrement” at her.
“Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way,” Clarkson added.
Now, several prominent figures – from comedians Kathy Burke and John Bishop to Countdown star Carol Vorderman – have criticised Clarkson’s comments.
Bishop tweeted that the remarks were a “blatant appeal to incite humiliation and violence on a woman”.
He added: “Some have excused it as dark humour. There is no joke here Jeremy Clarkson, and no excuse.”
Vorderman’s Twitter comment began: “No Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it Ok to write this stuff about any woman and absolutely...

BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt was left red in the face after showing footage of rugby player Kevin Sinfield urinating on a wall.
Former Leeds Rhinos player Sinfield is undertaking a gruelling challenge of completing seven ultramarathons in seven days to raise money for motor neurone disease charities.
The challenge will amount to 482 kilometres, with Sinfield having already raised more than £600,000.
During Saturday (19 November) morning’s BBC Breakfast, the team caught up with a live stream of Sinfield as he continued on the final day of the challenge, running from West Yorkshire to the Rugby League World Cup Final at Old Trafford.
“We have a camera on board a bike, it’s the first time we have done this, we have set him off every morning and we wave goodbye,” host Stayt said, as the screen changed to footage of the run labelled the “Kev Cam”.
“We don’t really know how it works,...

Do you have a friend or relative who has to battle stammering? If so, a few thoughts.
The usual intro: hello! Welcome to our Geeks Vs Loneliness series, where each week we look at issues facing some of us, and try to come up with a few tips to help.
This week, we want to talk about stammering. Specifically, some tips if someone you know suffers from stammering.
So here we go.
The morning phone-in on Radio Five Live is really something special when it touches on an issue that rarely gets discussed, yet affects more people than you may think. Yesterday, Rachel Burden hosted an excellent phone-in on stammering, and this week’s Geeks Vs Loneliness is very much inspired by that.
What really interested me were the people who suffered with stammering, who rang in and talked about what they faced. Inevitably, there was quite a mix,...
