In perhaps unsurprising news Ofcom are investigating the People's forum that featured Rishi Sunak. The Ofcom investigation is around "due impartiality requirements" and rules 5.11 and 5.12, ref www.bbc.co.uk .
Presumably GB News are will be hoping that by stating they've invited Keir Starmer to do a people's forum on their channel they'll have sufficiently covered the impartiality requirements. (Whether the Labour party leader would want to is an entirely different matter.) At least they've learnt from past mistakes and ensured it was hosted by Stephen Dixon, rather than a former or current Conservative MP.
