Viewers bemoan BBC's general election reporting as 'endless wittering' (2024)

Viewers bemused with BBC's general election coverage have hit out at the broadcaster's presenting duoClIve Myrie and Laura Kuenssberg branding them a 'pointless double act'.

After the shocking exit poll predicting a landslide win of 410 out of 650 seats for Keir Starmer, presenters across Sky, ITV, Channel 4and the BBC have continued to announce constituencies results dotted throughout the UK.

But not everyone keenly watching the general election unfold at home has been pleased with the BBC's coverage - with several switching the broadcaster off and dubbing other channels 'superior'.

Several have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the tax-funded broadcaster for their 'endless wittering' and a lack of reporting from polling stations as the results roll in.

Others have described the BBC's reportage as 'misjudged' , 'dull' with one comparing it to 'one of their interminable and tedious podcasts'.

'Have to say BBC National coverage of the general election is rubbish. BBC Scotland and Channel 4 [is] much better quality,' one quipped.

'The pointless double act of Myrie & Kuenssberg distracting from the results. BBC have made a real mess of their national coverage.'

A second quipped: 'BBC coverage is weird - endless wittering while they actually have reporters at virtually every count.'

'I think you might be right BBC national coverage has been terrible from Myrie/Keunssbergg. Terrible double act. Should've been sole anchor,' a third shared.

'It is extraordinary isn't it? BBC coverage seems misjudged at many levels. Feels like one of their interminable and tedious podcasts,' a viewer said.

'My word, the BBC election coverage is soo dull. All the other channels are far superior,' one penned.

Another added: 'Unsure exactly why the BBC election coverage is so poor - they seem totally unable to keep up with the seat count whereas the Sky website is far better at keeping up (though still inexplicably saying that the Speaker's seat has been won by the Tories...)'

'I started to watch BBC coverage - so boring - gone back to GB News.'

This comes after exit poll suggests Labour is on course for a staggering 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131.

'The BBC has had dire coverage all night dear, don't make my mistake,' warned one.

MailOnline has approached the BBC for comment.

This comes shortly after Sky viewers were stunned as Kay Burley and Labour mayor of ManchesterAndy Burnham let out a series of strange moans as they were left completely speechless by tonight's shocking exit poll.

Those watching at home were quick to ask: 'What is happening in the Sky News studio?!'

Their reactions were replayed only moments later, with Mr Burnham seen nearly jumping out of his seat and raising his arms in the air as he sat next to a far from impressed Baroness Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives.

Rishi Sunak's term as Prime Minister looks set to end in electoral disaster, with the Conservatives forecast to endure heavy losses.

The exit poll - announced at 10pm - suggests Labour is on course for a staggering 410 seats, with the Tories reduced to 131.

It marks a dramatic turnaround since the 2019 general election, when Boris Johnson won the Tories a healthy 80-seat majority and Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to its worst result since 1935.

It will mean a Labour prime minister in No 10 for the first time in 2010 and the Conservatives facing a possible civil war as the fight for the future direction of the party and the battle to potentially replace Mr Sunak gets under way.

After 14 years in power it was always going to be a difficult election for the Conservatives, but the sometimes shambolic campaign - triggered at a time of Mr Sunak's choosing - has contributed to their party's likely defeat.

From the rain-drenched speech announcing the surprise July 4 poll, through the D-Day debacle as he left Normandy early to record a TV interview to confused campaign messaging about a Labour 'supermajority', Mr Sunak struggled to convince the electorate he was the right man to lead the country.
