Maybe GB News will realise that giving current serving MPs their own show can be problematic, especially in an election year. At least the likes of Michael Portillo are not serving politicians, so in theory have a bit of distance from 'the political agenda of the day'.
Giving serving politicians their own show will cause them a lot of issues once the election is called, no one standing for election can present a programme. Hopefully GB News already has plans for who will replace those presenters in that situation.
Other older broadcasters are well used to this - LBC and TalkSport both have had to do this in the past with a lot less notice, the last couple of elections being snap elections, not at the end of a term like this year's
