Is there a revolving door with Sky News Press Preview guests? Do the usual suspects just return to the back of the queue! Gravy train!


I do cannot see the point of Sky Press Preview except for possibly providing a fee for the usual suspects.

Just watched Sky news Press Preview, as I often do, but cannot see the point of it given the ownership bias of our press, on both sides, and the same merry go round of journalists. When it comes to politics you know exactly what each camp is going to say.

Is “The Press Review” on Sky News an old boys/girls a closed shop? Mainly a merry go round of the same old faces.


Why did Kier Starmer use “holiday” instead of Christmas in one of his messages, I thought that was an American thing.

I actually thought Sunak would be better than Johnson and Truss. How could he possibly be worse? He’s giving it a great go. He’s a nothing of a Prime Minister. Frightened to death to make a decision, no control at all of his Home Secretary who is mad and dangerous , ex Johnson…

Please can as many people as possible RT this & kick up a fuss? @RishiSunak is simply talking nonsense here - really, just utter twaddle. NOT TRUE, Rishi! @WeHaveWaysPod @RowlandWhite @BeaverWestminst @almurray @MikeHistorian @WestLindseyDC @militaryhistori @PhillipsPOBrien
