I'll be surprised if GBNews get anything extra over the same sorts of interviews they will be giving the BBC, ITV and Sky. School gyms aren't conducive to anything more and GBNews wouldn't have the resources for it anyway.
I think GBNews' election night will be very similar to their by-election coverage considering they seemed to use them as GE dry-runs. Expect their usual assortment of right wing podcasters and columnists, with GBNews' for-balance regulars of Aaron Bastani of Novara Media, the bloke who used to run LabourList, Michael Crick etc.. I would expect it to be very similar on a technical level to LBC's previous GE coverage, which is to say pretty starved of the resources to cover such a thing, but decent enough owing to the encyclopedic knowledge of the presenters (like them or not, Iain Dale and Tom Harwood are both endless wells of GE facts).

The company that organises the tickets for Free Speech Nation (as well as a load of other TV shows) sent out an email on Tuesday offering tickets to a Wednesday pre-recording. The Paddington space is actually very well sized, it could quickly be improved by just getting rid of the dark Ikea furniture, random le creuset, and Habitat, and replacing it with practically anything else.
From the email:
"This weeks episode will be recorded during the afternoon of Wednesday 19th June, as the studio will be closed on Sunday 23rd June, and shown on that date."
