Day One, Gillingham

Written By Jack Sauverin

I took a lot of care pairing a newly purchased white microphone with Keir's white shirt and it looked great, the AV team then proceeded to put a second mic on him and Angela really sloppily.

I managed to pull together a few assets from what was only 45 minutes. The switcher chat went into adverts and did really well.

I also took two takes feeding KS the lines for his inaugural TikTok. I'd bunched the audience behind him but they felt like spare parts initially, after the first go I asked them to cheer as he finished and it was miles better.

Moments after the second take, it was made clear I wouldn't get a third as Keir was whisked away.

My near-invisible white microphone and the long dangling horror of the AV’s.

Day one enthusiasm manifested in a suit and Labour tie, quickly abandoned.
