I suspect off-topic matters which bylinetimes.com have previously reported on may explain his social media silence. Depending on how long his current contract is for they may have decided it's more convenient to pay him until it ends than sack him or have him return to air.
On my Freesat EPG, the 9pm slot for Monday 13th November 2023 on YouTube simply says GBN Tonight, no mention of DW on it
Going back to the Crick incident, having watched it I sense it was a rather naïve booking by someone. They maybe knew he'd left Channel 4 because he felt they had left-wing bias, forgot about his reputation, and didn't think he might be as critical on-air of GB News as he was. I'd agree that it feels like someone in the gallery or management panicked, as it wasn't as if he was swearing or saying something libel, though was probably highly unconformable to some. I have to respect Neil Oliver for what he said after the ad-break (even if I disagree with many of his opinions), as he was presumably openly disagreeing with the gallery/management's decision.
