All major news channels suddenly cancelled their scheduled late-night programs and switched to live coverage from Stockport. Initially, they had been cautious after receiving a tip-off… shockingly, from within the opposition party… about potential criminal activities involving one of their own MPs, Oliver Brown. Only a few networks sent news crews to the area around Oliver Brown's house, choosing a wait-and-see approach rather than breaking the story prematurely.
That changed rapidly.
A large police convoy unexpectedly arrived at Oliver Brown's residence and cordoned off the entire area. Floodlights were switched on, armed officers formed a perimeter, and forensic teams moved in. That was all the confirmation the media needed. Almost every major outlet went live at once.
