a sky news Broadcast crews were removed from the Conservative campaign launch by security guards.
Broadcaster Darren McCaffrey and his staff were escorted by two security guards from London’s Excel Center during the live broadcast, after which the Prime Minister gave a speech to mark the launch.
The correspondent claimed he was not allowed in due to broadcast pool arrangements, which meant other broadcasters in attendance had to share their footage with other media.
Outside the event, McCaffrey and staff, who claimed they had been invited, were seen wandering around the perimeter of the Excel Centre while being followed by security guards.
After the speeches, Sky producers, cameramen and Mr McAfee were seen waiting patiently as everyone left Excel.
The group said it had been instructed by Conservative Party media representatives not to film in the small room where the event was being held, but decided to roll its cameras anyway.
As he was escorted from the venue during the emergency broadcast, Mr McCaffrey told the camera: “Hello, I’m currently at the Conservative party launch event. The Prime Minister is due to speak in a few minutes and I’ve been forced out. We just wanted to have access tonight as Sky News but unfortunately I’ve been told that because of pooling arrangements I can’t be here.”
the producer said Independent“We told them we’d be doing a live broadcast and they were like, ‘We don’t care.’
“We had no intention of stopping filming. It was total nonsense, complete nonsense. If they didn’t want us here, why did they invite us?”
“Now they’ve locked up all our stuff, so we have to wait until everyone gets out before we can go get the cameraman’s bag.”
During the event, the Prime Minister criticized Labour’s stance on immigration, claiming he would scrap the Rwanda policy and “institute a de facto amnesty for asylum seekers, making our country a magnet for all of Europe’s illegal immigration.” .
“The only certainty about the Labor Party is that it will run out of money,” he argued.
Earlier, Mr Sunak announced outside 10 Downing Street that the next general election would be held much earlier than expected, six weeks from Thursday 4 July.
The election could bring an end to 14 years of Conservative rule or, if the party wins an unexpected victory, cause one of the biggest political shocks in history.
Speaking from Downing Street, the Prime Minister said he had asked the King to dissolve Parliament but had kept his decision secret until shortly before announcing it.
The Prime Minister told the people: “Now is the time for Britain to choose its future and decide whether it wants to build on the progress it has made or risk going back to square one with no plan or certainty.”
