Political correspondent Darren McCaffery and his crew were escorted from the Excel centre in east London by a security guard while live on air.
Rishi Sunak's first campaign event got off to a chaotic start as a Sky News broadcast team was removed from the venue. Politics Live: Rishi Sunak sets date for general election As he was being removed from the room, Darren said: 'We just simply wanted to have access tonight, but unfortunately, we are told that because there are pool arrangements in place, we are not allowed to be here.' A pool arrangement means other broadcasters are obliged to share their footage.
Tacitly acknowledging his opinion poll deficit, he added: 'Labour want you to think that this election is over before it has even begun. 'But we are going to fight every day for our values and our vision and the British people are going to show Labour that they don't take too kindly to being taken for granted.' A July election is earlier than many in Westminster had expected, with a contest in October or November widely thought to have been more likely.
