I wondered about this. I suspect (but don’t know) that the chap was standing on the box so they could get our parliament building (BIG BEN) in shot behind him as he spoke to camera. I took the photograph some time ago but forgot to process it and so I guess we’ll never know.

This feels timeless. I love how the reporter stands on a box to appear taller-shaping what we see.
