A Sky News reporter was “forcibly removed” from Rishi Sunak’s first election campaign rally while he was live on air. Broadcaster Darren McCaffrey and his crew were escorted from the ExCel centre by two security guards, with the political correspondent saying they had not been allowed in due to broadcast pooling arrangements. Sky cut to the reporter while he was being pushed along a corridor by two members of security in red hi-vis jackets. In the meantime the reporter remained professional telling the camera: “And I’m being forcibly removed. We just simply wanted to have access tonight as Sky News but unfortunately we’re told because the pool arrangement is in place we’re not allowed to be here.
