He’s a first rate journalist, who can deliver punchy interviews and sound bites needed for GMB and also handle the soft stuff (see his Ayoade interview). The ideal choice and considering his recent foray on 5Live Morning, he has experience of the daytime shift.Would Channel 4/ITN be willing to let him do it though?

I'd argue someone more Madeley/Holmes-esque in terms of opinions would be the natural fit. The show (as it is) wouldn't work with two people both having the same view, the required dynamic just wouldn't be there. IMHO, the show either needs to go with someone who has contrasting views to Susanna or go back to full impartiality.For me - the latter please
IMO the slightly opinionated (within reason of what the regs allow) news programmes should be left to C4/Sky/GBN and the like.
