I am thrilled that Peter Stefanovic is joining Laura Jayes and the Sky team.
I think his experience as a foreign correspondent will be invaluable. I think this job is a perfect fit for him. Excellent choice.
Hopefully he will balance Laura’s more leftists views and I’m sure he will bring more warmth to the program . He was very good last night with Ben Fordham.
I am a big fan of all your evening programs.
