running commentary

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".

The prime minister's spokesman said: "There are clearly a number of options on the table. I'm just not getting into a running commentary on the options."

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Labour Environment Secretary Steve Reed said it would be "inappropriate" to provide a "running commentary" on Trump's statements.
