Maybe he moved homes to reduce his daily commute and be closer to the political action.

He also said that Johnson is expected to speak at lunchtime (if not earlier).

Correction, PM is to resign, not that he has resigned

Looks like Breakfast is being extended

It seems Morning Live has moved to BBC Two although I don’t think they’ve told anyone nor changed the EPG

Why are Breakfast and the BBC News Channel doing separate things from 3 feet apart? Since the news broke surely they should have merged the coverage?

And I said the media should go home until Tuesday morning.....

Guessing they'll merge and Morning Live will either come on BBC 1 or 2.

(EDIT: Morning Live on 2)

Scrolling back on iPlayer, BBC Two just crashed out of BBC News mid sentence

And a pretty messy handover on BBC One!

That was funny, they cut off Charlie closing the programme and cut to BBC News, but because BBC News is literally two feet away, you could still hear faintly Charlie in the distance finishing

Surprised ITV have stuck with Lorraine rather than gone back to GMB. And interesting call from the BBC to switch from a familar BBC1 face to an unfamilar News Channel face.

EDIT: ITV News now on air.

Beth Rigby on Kay Burley's programme right now - something I've not seen since... Well, you know.

[Andrew]

ITV News is now also on air, with Nina Hossain at Downing Street, replacing Lorraine

I didn’t see the handover, did anyone?
