From the BBC's rolling coverage of GB's resignation:

1829: Writer and broadcaster David Hepworth tweets: "That was no resignation. That was negotiation."

On the clip - blimey! What was Boulton thinking? A bit rich that the (Sky) interviewer criticises Campbell for being provocative.

Taxi for Mr Boulton! The Digger would like a quiet word about the memo in which it was made clear that Sky's bias was NOT supposed to be ridiculously overt....

but I did. This after that Kay Burley disgrace and that Sky you're so slavishly attached to for your football (or soccer as you think I call call it)is lurching further and more inexorably to the right to the point where it will soon be almost indistinguishable from that Fox news you tut tut. Act now.

For sure.

Malcolm Tu... I mean, er, Alistair Campbell.
You'd want him in your corner.

Never mind all the "big beasts" - Paxman, Boulton, Dimbleby and all them - the real media star of the General Election, in my book, has been Laura Kuenssberg, BBC's roving reporter on Westminster Green. She's just really good: sharp interviews, quickly and succinctly analysed and reported.

Boulton's shameful handling of SKY's TV debate the other week - completely out of context and off-topic question to Clegg about the nonsense expenses story about him from that day's Torygraph. How are people like this allowed to call themselves journalists???!

I had a bit of respect for Boulton until now. That said Campbell is clearly the Jose Mourinho of politics. They could both conjure up an argument in a Buddhist monastery

FIGHT!

They both need a good slap. Smug bastards.

The mantra of every election from now on will be, "Yes you did win most seats, yes you did get 2,000,000 more votes BUT you did not win the mandate of the majority of the British population". Has it not been that way since elections began? Twonks. Change the record. Oh I wonder why the voters are disillusioned with politicians.

by Boulton. He's obviously suffering from PMT: Prime Ministerial Tension.

Those three are beyond caricature.

Pound drops more than 1 cent aginst dollar in reaction to Brown statement

There's nothing that Sky won't try and make stick.

It's a shame becasue Sky News were looking halfway decent a year or two ago. They seem destined to become yet another Murdoch mouthpiece.

Bolton's performance here seems perfectly modelled on US Fox news anchors, who make Nick Griffin look considered. This is a first class example of how Campbell can take a weak argument and come out on top. By miles.

was due to this earlier

so she got antsy and took it out on a protestor who was asked for an interview - at one point snarled at him 'Why are you here? Why don't you go home and watch it on Sky News?'

The same channel failed to recognise Billy Bragg when interviewing him - sadly like most of the British record buying public

BTW the Campbell\Boulton rumble is probably Round II following from Thursday night

shockingly amateurish behaviour from Boulton. My wife watched this live and was so incensed at his behaviour that she fired off an e-mail of complaint to sky news. Strangely, it bounced straight back

leaves Sky floundering in their role as Kingmakers. How the Murdoch press will respond to this is going to be extremely interesting.

Loved that! Boulton made an absolute clown of himself there, whilst Campbell used the old 'give a twat enough rope' maxim. Brilliant stuff.

Even when Campbell is kind enough to remind him that they are live, the Digger's henchman keeps on digging...

Sky News really is shit, isn't it? Give me Arthur Sleep of Gigglebiz any day (ably assisted by Gale Force, of course).

Have you seen this? I had to scrape my jaw off the keyboard.

Rumbled, at last.

If this coalition thing takes off and there's a successful second election I would LOVE it if they came after News International and their creative tax structures.

I despise Sky and their attempt to control the Media world as a starting point and the World at large as an ultimate goal. This guy is an absolute cretin - thought Campbell handled it extremely well and didnt have to try very hard to make him look like a complete idiot.
A one cent fall for Sterling against the dollar? Put the barricades up, our economy is about to collapse. To think people subscribe to this organisation.

I think Alistair Campbell is a twat of the highest order, but just for that wonderful shoeing of that execrable bell-end Boulton I'd plant a big wet kiss on his bottom.

Boulton in SKY staff loo furiously knocking one out.

At least they didn't interrupt Gordon Brown's speech to the Labour HQ like the BBC did. For no apparent reason.

I do wish that Gordon Brown had better managed to convey during the election the passion, sincerity and dignity that were evident in that farewell to the staff. I know it's a cliche but he really did look like a weight was off his shoulders.

a few hours later. Obviously his achilles heel had been exposed and MPs were giving it ba good poke

Clearly from now on, even if only for general amusement, if anyone should spot Kay Burley or Adam Boulton they should shout "Sky News is shit, watch the BBC". Wait for the explosions from both.

In the Premier League, if Manchester United & Arsenal decide to form a coalition then it is fit and proper that Chelsea should be denied the top postion. They may have won the most points over the season but their points are not greater than the other 19 teams when added together.
