Good Morning Britain

Um, and I think as, as more countries, I think we're probably the last to do it a lot of the time in terms of take that, those American steps, be it the way that media occurs.

Like, yeah, having worked in I remember we did it with Good Morning Britain we we'd seen they'd seen in America they have this like you know everything you see now at like Sky Sports News where you have stuff down the bottom and stuff down the side and then the picture in the middle and that at the time was quite a daring idea but in America they've been doing it for ages and so I think yeah the the culture does make its way across and i know that things like the like sofa score have got their own awards now and i know in brazil that's huge that's a really big thing yeah things like that those those things really matter i think like rafinha won and he was absolutely like buzzing about it so it does matter

statistical approach to choosing who wins

I don't know.

So the Chancellor, off the back of his speech yesterday, went pretty much straight away, once he'd left the Commons, to do a whole round of interviews in Number 11 for broadcast on Thursday morning.

So he was talking to Good Morning Britain and GB News and Sky News and LBC and the Today programme and BBC Breakfast, etc, etc.

And he sits down with Nick Robinson for the best part of 15, 20 minutes.

And in that exchange, sort of midway through, there's a conversation around...

So we are remote, even though we're both currently in the country because it's half term.

I've been off Good Morning Britain all week, half term break.

And George, I think you're off on a trip.

Yes, I'm off with our kids, with Beau and with Pax and with Arthur to Paris to go up the Eiffel Tower.

Or people say, why has he got time to do these social media videos? But actually, he's reaching an audience who wouldn't otherwise see this stuff.

And he's raising issues which people nod and say, well, to be fair to Andy Burnham, he's right on that one.

And on Good Morning Britain, on things like car park charging or noise in carriages on trains, people really care about it and they get very wound up and we get tons of comments coming into the programme.

And the fact that Andy Burnham is joining that debate.

Yeah.

And it was on Good Morning Britain, I think.

and and it was i mean to be clear and he also he was also on twitter katie let me tell you something about him this sob he was also lighting me up on twitter before i met the guy and so yeah you were and by the way i don't care i think you're a great guy i think you're a phenomenal journalist and i admire katie for coming on on center because it's a it's a hard thing to do and and And Katie, we've sort of direct messaged each other a little bit.

I didn't mean anything bad about you being on the podium or shouldn't be there or anything like that.
