OPINION - Beth Rigby: Watch out Kemi, watch out Keir, Nigel Farage and Reform are coming for you
Political editors of national broadcasters have two main jobs. One is to stick to the Prime Minister like glue, following them on foreign trips, covering speeches and Commons appearances to document No 10’s priorities and pitfalls for a public that will decide whether to give the PM another term. The second is to cover the Leader of the Opposition, to illustrate the alternative for voters and ensure you understand a bit about who you might fancy as the next leader of our country.
