I’ve never been one for head office. When I was asked more than thirty years ago to set up Sky News political coverage I seized the opportunity to create an American style Washington Bureau. Reporters, camera crew, picture editing, live studios and lines to broadcast – we had everything at Westminster, so no need to report in person to the bosses back in the main newsroom, which was some miles away although, admittedly, not as far from the seat of political power  as a network HQ in New York City.
