I am not leftwing or rightwing. As Political Editor of an Ofcom-regulated news channel, I strive to stress all points of view, and hold all politicians to account, on air on behalf of @GBNEWS viewers and listeners. That's it!
Viewed from the UK (Number 10 declined to take a political press pack) the Commonwealth summit comprised politically:
- four days of countries demanding apologies and money from our PM over slavery;
- the PM falling over playing cricket.
NEW In the Carribean at the Commonwealth Summit., PM Andy Burnham says this "has been the most successful CHOGM of recent times". Based on what? More now on @GBNEWS.
Great to present PMQsLive today on @GBNEWS with the wonderful @GloriaDePiero!

Western Morning News running piece by Burnham about importance of local journalism. Yet their splash that day is PA wire copy about the Caribbean.

Quite - it’s actually quite inspiring what other nations are doing and want to do - the UK is so negative and far behind….. ALL the @commonwealthsec nations WANT a free trade platform between them yet it’s the British that are stopping this progressing - to focussed on their beloved and failing EU….
Extraordinary. The Government has not ruled out nationalising Poundland or giving it a subsidy ... 👇
In response to @johnredwood, Labour’s Business Minister refused to rule out NATIONALISING Poundland!
Insane.
The hard truth is that in a dynamic economy, businesses are created, whilst others sadly fail.
We cannot expect taxpayers to step in and solve all of life's problems.

Quite agree the only coverage I’ve seen is the PM playing cricket and falling over !!
The coverage from the Commonwealth summit is relentlessly negatively about whether the UK should apologise for historic slavery.
No wonder Kemi Badenoch is questioning whether the UK should bother attending next time.
Where is the reporting about what else is happening at the summit, or other political stories generated from speaking to the PM and his team?
In my view the fault lies at least in part with Number 10, for (unusually) not taking a political press pack to the Caribbean.
