running commentary

The government said it would "act in the national interest to secure the best outcomes for the UK" in discussions with the EU, but added that "no final agreement has been made", and that it wouldn't give "a running commentary".

"Talks on an economic deal between the US and the UK are ongoing - but we are not going to provide a running commentary on the details of live discussions or set any timelines because it is not in the national interest. We will continue to take a calm and steady approach to talks and aim to find a resolution to help ease the pressure on UK businesses and consumers."

Downing Street declined to repeat its previous opposition to reporters on Thursday, saying it would not provide a "running commentary" on talks.

Air show commentator Brian Emmenis, who was present at the show and provided running commentary on Mr O'Connell's performance, can then be heard urging the stunned crowd to "stay calm and remain where you are".

The force said since this is a live investigation, "it would be inappropriate to provide a running commentary" and the Met "does not identify any person who may, or may not be, subject to an investigation".
