I am watching the State Opening of Parliament and it has occurred to me yet again what a massive improvement he is on the egregious Laura Kuenssberg.
He speaks clearly with no apparent bias or personal axe to grind, he is well-prepared, knowledgeable, cheerful, often self deprecating and during the Election, apparently indefatigable.
And he seems such a nice person too!

Although we are both very engaged with politics and have always watched the Sunday morning politics show on BBC.we can no longer bear the awful snidey opinionated Laura Kuenssberg.

Definitely agree re Chris Mason. We were just saying that today. 👍

I have listened to him for several years and like his laid back style. He used to part his hair down the middle and another presenter pulled his leg about it. He took it in good part and said his daughter had hinted about it too. He then had a restyle. Lovely guy.

Always know we’re going to get a good, unbiased, knowledgeable report from Chris Mason, he definitely gets my vote!

I do not like LK’s presenting or reporting style

We were in a pub by HoP several years back and LK was on the next table with friends/other journalists and she came across as really good fun and extremely nice

I too like Chris Mason but whenever I see him I remember his upside down bottom 😳. Do you remember he did that sketch where he sang and danced to a popular song something like ‘Is this the way to Amarillo?’ And he got stuck whilst climbing a gate and ended upside down. Hopefully someone will find the video. And a very nice bottom too ☺️
