    It is so easy to carp from the sidelines it is a relatively new and lazy journalistic style where the self-appointed sneering media opposition look to outdo each other.

    Peston is like many others.

    Totally disagree, I think he is very good, and knows his subject well.
    He elicits info from many sources within Westminster, and uses it well.
    Please be aware that due to visual impairment I will occasionally post typos in error.

    If he had he'd have shot Boris Johnson by now.

    I think most politicians would have been happy when Peston left the BBC and Boris's poodle Laura took over.

    IIRC Peston was an economics commentator at the BBC, not politics.
    I think LK succeeded John Sargeant.

    Peston's ok in small doses.
    That lady who does his graphics and charts is the annoying talentless one.

    I feel sorry for her.
    She may have a plum job where are all the men freezing outside Number 10 or Parliament like the good old days?
