Not really necessary to make that comment.
GB News had actually broken the news seven minutes earlier at 11:43, with the newsreader, Tamsin (as can be seen by going back to that time on the YouTube live feed: www.youtube.com )
Clearly a last-minute decision was made to put Martin on air earlier than intended, and there was some confusion over the running order, and subsequently, some issues with the autocue.
Admittedly, it was a questionable decision for them to rush Martin on air like that, and they would've likely been better off returning to the newsreader to recap the story (allowing Martin and his production team more time to prepare).
However, the day to day running of GB News as of late is quite smooth, and I'd say they experience less issues than the new BBC News channel - GBN probably broke this story faster today too.
