Technically in purdah there will be no serving MPs anyway, so whether those rules then extend to election candidates and whether they cover any outgoing MP (not sure if JRM is one of those standing down) remains to be seen - but given the rules have very much been bent to get them into the GB News schedules outside an election you can ensure GB News will be ready to argue any election related content hosted by one of these characters has nothing to do with the election. And if they do breech the rules the regulatory consequences, if there are any, won't come until long after the event anyway - so even if they should affect the outcome (which I doubt they will) the damage is already done.
Feels like GB News are somewhat becoming the Man City of the news industry, minus the success.
