Of course the later would mean only the likes of Rees-Mogg could afford to be an MP. So I think such a survey should be taken with a pinch of salt. For me balance of opinion should be represented in who’s leading shows not just who appears on them, so if you’ve got a few Tory MP presenters you should have a few Labour ones too.

I wouldn't trust the British public with any sort of poll.

The GB News website has been given a makeover, slightly more cleaner than the last one.

https://www.gbnews.com/

From a design POV, that's a lot better and easy to navigate.

Worth noting that out of the three top stories on the website, the lead is that of the terrible news coming out of Brighton, the second is about the SNP and then the third is I'd consider typical GBN fare.


RE: GB News - JMT1985 - 01-03-2023

They have actually made the website worse - it is now much slower and that is not to do with my internet speed, which is usually 150MB. This new look is very sluggish.

But at least the appalling content is still there, so consistency there at least.

On the presenters page, they've got a profile of Darren Grimes who left recently, yet Mark Steyn isn't there.

Also is Emily Carver really a presenter? I know she's been a talking head, but not seen her 'present' anything on GBN.

She usually does Darren Grimes' old slots at the weekend.

...and she covers for Michelle Dewberry.

The website looks a lot better and more structured. Can't understand why Darren Grimes is still named as a presenter.

Now we'll see if they spend money on a much needed new studio layout.

Because who ever was in charge of the website probably wasn’t taking care of that kind of detail. Dominic Frisby was still on the website for what seems like months after his last appearance in Headliners, in fact I’m pretty sure he disappeared for a while then returned on the page. I guess they’re quicker to act on more high profile departures like Andrew Neil’s and that Welsh chap who’s mates with Boris Johnson.
