It's a shame because I thought he was a great interviewer so I wish he had been a bit more diplomatic in his departure from the BBC. He seemed to take unnecessary shots at them upon leaving.

He seems to have been a bit arrogant in not appreciating the importance of this production crew at the BBC given how little importance was paid to that when setting up GB News and his subsequent frustration when the consequences of that became clear with all the mistakes and quality issues.
Would a broadcaster like Sky want a 75-year-old white male who's associated himself with the right-of-centre doing the big interviews with politicians?
I can see him doing a series eg interviews of figureheads eg Andrew Neill interviews ex-Prime Ministers for Channel 5 or yesterday but I think his days of making the news are over.
