The opening to the 11pm hour with Tim Willcox on both World and Domestic using terms like 'British law makers', 'New Finance Minister' and 'New Health Minister' (the last one being technically wrong as there are junior health ministers) instead of MPs, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Health Secretary sounds rather odd to a domestic audience. If they're simulcasting they really should use the British terms.
There's also 'British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson'. I seldom hear 'American President, Joe Biden' on the domestic news channel, its normally just 'President Joe Biden'.
The Irish prime minister is referred to as the Taoiseach as well
