I believe during this period usually if one candidate standing is mentioned then all other candidates have to be mentioned, or if they didn't have a radio simulcast they could alternatively be displayed/listed on screen.It is restricted for candidates in any election of any scale to present during an election period - local radio stations have even gotten in trouble for councillors continuing to host things as minor as gardening programmes once purdah begins. Ofcom take it very seriously.
I'd have thought if Laurence Fox was presenting during this period it could be seen as undue prominence towards one candidate. He may still be able to appear as a guest on other GB News programmes though, without GB News getting into trouble.
