I generally quite like GB News but I wish they wouldn’t do this. Quite apart from other considerations, serving politicians make poor presenters and are very obviously biased. It doesn’t work.

But breaking news isn’t what they’re about, and they don’t have the resources for that ambition.
That was why they initially didn’t have formal news bulletins, though I’m glad they changed their mind on those, they add structure and authority.

Harwood for me would be the one who'd cement GB News as the channel for conservative skewed opinion if he got the job, but if they went for another impartial journalist, it'd go some way to continuing to provide accurate journalism for their target audience and talking heads to make up their own minds.
