This slot for politics has never come up to the standard it was under Andrew Neill.

Let's see if it improves under this presenter.
Jo Coburn didn't keep order most of the time unfortunately.

Yes the political coverage on BBC has never been the same since Neil left

This Week was also brilliant and they used to do great coverage of local elections and by elections which has all been cut back

Yes 15mins of each show gone
