Sky News Technical Glitch Interrupts Angela Rayner Coverage

Sky News Technical Glitch Interrupts Angela Rayner Coverage

During live coverage of Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner's resignation over stamp duty underpayment, Sky News experienced multiple technical problems including complete loss of sound.
Reporter Sophy Ridge, stationed outside 10 Downing Street, was unable to hear her co-reporter and couldn't confirm if she was live on air.
The broadcast briefly cut to black before returning to the studio where the incident was addressed.
Rayner's resignation followed revelations she underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty on a seaside flat, leading her to step down from various government roles.
The glitch highlighted the challenges of live news broadcasting during major political events.
