I was surprised to see him back on the papers review. Surely Sky could have found someone else instead of the self-entitled mouthpiece with a huge chip on his shoulder.
I bet he's not going to do the papers review with Hartley-Brewer again just in case he has another hissy fit. |

Well the producers of the programme must have contacted him in order to invite him onto the show.
Fail to see how this is his fault. |

Sky News is doing its best to emulate the BBC the last 2 years. Owen Jones is part of that strategy. I would say he is one of the most important faces Sky have. He is Sky's equivalent to to the BBC's Zoe Williams (also a Guardian writer) who is also very outspoken. Legitimises them in the eyes of the liberal left - and therefore makes them a UK media heavyweight. Channel 4 must be very envious although conversely Jon Snow must make the BBC and Sky jealous to an extent..

I'm quite glad he's back on Sky News.
Why? Because I don't watch it. The more he's on there the less likely I'll be subjected to him on other televisual platforms so I'm hoping they give him loads of work.

I'm not his biggest fan but it is good to have a press preview with opposing views every now and then.

Jones gets his point across and Sky get angry wee guys starting threads about their press review on social media. |

I prefer a discussion based on political views to come from an informed place rather than an emotional one. As Owen collapsed into an emotional heap last time because he couldn't handle views which didn't accord with his own it's hard for me to find him to be credible or competent enough for this type of thing. I think he's better suited for an environment where he can rant to his heart's content without the inconvenience of other people getting in the way and having their say too. That way he isn't forced to think about or reassess a position of thought which he currently holds. |

Good to have him back, at the very least the right echo chamber of middle Britain now ceases, it was like bad acid reflux.

Depends on the quality of views.

Also i'd rather see a more balanced debate than 2 people from the same side agreeing for half an hour who could both be wrong. |

I always thought Longhurst interrupted the reviewers too much and virtually took over the review. Plus Julia HB was being a right pain in the arris as usual.
