A faster BBC News front page

This is at least an improvement. But can't the breaking news only appear if something breaks after I load the page, rather than on initial load? Even then... give me an option to set a cookie to never see it please.

I'll raise this with our product team. I think it's totally reasonable to expect the banner not to appear as soon as you load the page — if there's a breaking news story, it will already be on the page, right? So there's no need to also pop up a banner with the same story.

But —this is a big "but"— I wouldn't expect this to happen soon. Changes take a long time at the BBC :)

Closing the breaking news now at least seems to be fixed (it no longer scrolls back to top). Thanks!

Thank you! I've been very close to stopping using the BBC news site recently due to the breaking news banner.
