bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68596973
Quick Glance: GB News Programs Presented by Tory MPs Breach Ofcom Rules
- Ofcom found that five episodes of GB News programs presented by Tory MPs have violated impartiality regulations.
- The shows in question included two hosted by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and three co-hosted by former Pensions Secretary Esther McVey and Philip Davies.

itv.com/news/2024-03-05/dan-wootton-leaves-gb-news-to-launch-independent-platform
Quick Glance: Ofcom: Laurence Fox's 'misogynistic' comments breach rules
- Media watchdog Ofcom has ruled Laurence Fox’s “misogynistic” comments about journalist Ava Evans on Dan Wootton's GB News show broke broadcasting rules which protect “viewers from offensive content”.
- The watchdog has said the offence has raised 'significant concerns about GB News' editorial control of its live output.'
- The episode, which was broadcast on GB News on September 26, received 8,867 complaints with viewers objecting to the “misogynistic comments” made by actor-turned-politician Fox about about political correspondent Ms Evans.
- They added Wootton's reaction did not mitigate the potential for offence but rather 'exacerbated it' by 'contributing to the narrative in which a woman's value was judged by her physical appearance'.
