Just to be clear - is Ofcom pretending that the cast list from Farage to Rees-Mogg, Tice to Anderson who appear on G B “News” are in some way within “the highest standard of impartiality?” Perhaps the problem isn’t this dreary TV channel.
It’s the regulator.

Carney is correct. Brexiteers have set us on a road to being a poorer, dirtier, less safe, country

Carney was also a superior Governor of the Bank of England compared to Andrew Bailey who I believe was a political choice as supported #brexit

This is so upsetting to watch. People like this man simply used not to be given airtime. This is hate speech and heartless, chilling sociopathy.

Why has Britain legitimised this sort of discourse?

How can we have nearly 10m waiting for care…

Hours to wait to see a doctor in A& E…

Thousands not getting cancer treatment for months

But junior doctors are being refused consultant training posts?

This govt have no interest in investing in the NHS or our health!

From Private Eye. Further evidence that the absurd amount of police time devoted to Angela Rayner has been driven by pressure from the Tory Party.

If this isn't politicisation of the police, I don't know what is.

(and I'm not a Labour supporter, btw)

Am I missing something? Anyone heard/read Tory outrage at dangerous St George’s day protesters attacking police and a police horse? Tommy Robinson /Laurence Fox inspired rampage rather worse than peaceful environmentalists jailed for blocking traffic

Excellent blog, summarising the seemingly cynical flaws in Ofcom's research. When GBNews began, I gave Ofcom the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. It's clearly not fit for purpose.

Worried about the unexplained disappeared from LBC of Sangita Myska. She’s a brave, principled journalist and an excellent broadcaster. Listeners will be missing her. What’s the explanation?

Yeah let’s have a Tory wettie about the cost of renationalising the railways. Because their fiscal responsibility has been top notch. Brexit. Rwanda. HS2. Defence spending. Tax cuts. Reneging on net zero. They published full, costed analysis on those didn’t they? Ffs. Course not.

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson, who unexpectedly reopened the investigation into Angela Rayner’s addresses, spoke at the last Tory conference.

The appearance raised questions about his political impartiality, as since the event he's garnered Tory support for

Tory privatisation of vital public service like trains was always a terrible idea. Glad there's one nightmare Tory policy Labour will commit to reverse. But why won’t they extend the same logic to the obvious shitshow that is our water? Bring that back into public hands too Keir!

No levelling up.
Brexit a total shitshow.
Public services in collapse.
Sewage catastrophe in our rivers.
No rent reform.
Councils bankrupt.
Childcare programme already under threat…
Why *every* excitable Tory announcement needs to be treated with total contempt and disbelief.
