Labour's pension shake-up explained | Ed Conway Analysis
Around 25,000 views is what a fresh Sky News video tends to collect over its whole first day. "Labour's pension shake-up explained | Ed Conway Analysis" needed only nine hours to pass 180,000.
That pace is on track for roughly thirteen times a normal opening. It came while the big American news networks, NBC News, CBS News and USA TODAY among them, were all running below their usual daily pace. The recent fast starters on Sky News were a terror investigation, an arrest near an RAF base and a parade standoff in Northern Ireland. This time it is a policy explainer, and the comments are keeping up with it, with hundreds posted against fewer than a thousand likes.
The man in the title is Sky News' economics and data editor, whose analysis pieces set out to untangle the money side of the news. Here his subject is a change to pensions from Labour.
