Scotland has 59 Constituencies, England has 533 - context is important…

And in 2019 (comparing like for like) the Brexit Party (the rebranded UKIP) won just 2% of the vote (642,323), with no seats, while the old UKIP party received 22,817 votes (0.1%) with no seats.

Discovery had sold its shares in GB News and its founders have joined them in walking away. Instead, it's getting investors from elsewhere.

GB News is proving not to be the complete disaster it looked it might be when it started and it's beating TalkTV which has had a lot more funding put in. However GB News is not reaching as many as they hoped or it seems from this being profitable enough for Discovery to stay in.

They should forget News and concentrate on sitcoms. Big market for them. Farage would be great as a Victor Meldrew type character.

GB news tends to be right wing biased and having Trumps British buddy doing his own show is a disgrace that is why I will not watch GB News.

Why is it a disgrace that Farage has his own show?

He had a successful one on LBC prior to GB News.

But why is it a disgrace?

Is it because only your pathetic liberal lefty views are the only views that count?

If so, that is wrong and you are the disgrace. :rolleyes:

You won't be missed. GB News does first class investigative journalism, particularly the two filmed reports on cross-channel illegal migration.

Farage gets his point across, but also allows full freedom without contradiction of the opposite viewpoint. Indeed the other presenters, who have panel discussions, are completely even handed.

Plus Farage got Brexit done. Boris's lot have messed it up, unfortunately.

Always someone else's fault when it comes to Brexit's failures.

Nige has never been in any position of power to cock anything up. Carping from the sidelines is his speciality.

Carping from the sidelines, talking utter bollocks, is your speciality, only, you’re a complete bore when you do it. :zzz:

I think one of GB News or Talk TV will go eventually. GB News seem to have staying power in that they're beating TalkTV despite the latter pouring money into big name hosts but if TalkTV really is willing to just burn through Murdoch's money will they eventually be able to outlast GB News?

GB News have burnt through £60m in 18 months. They've got another £60m but their right-wing populist stance is not finding favour with advertisers. How long will the extra £60m last them and what happens afterwards?

Although Talk TV has splashed the cash for Morgan and not got the viewers it has hoped for, it has lower costs as it is not a stand-alone business. And Morgan's fees include a book and newspaper columns too.

My money's on Talk TV for the long term if News Corp is happy to continue cross-subsidising it.

Does no one bother to read news articles properly anymore?

No they have not burned through £60 million at all, £60 million was to keep them going for three years. Discovery has walked away only because of them merging with Warner Bros, their investment being bought out by its existing backers, with an “additional” £60 million funding.

Not when there’s a narrative to push Mick.

Why is the extra £60m being given to GB News now if they've not spent the original £60m, which was meant to last three years? Shareholders don't usually just give money to a company for them just to put it in the bank.

The fledgling news channel, which originally said its first £60m fund raising last January would last three years, has tapped Legatum Ventures and hedge fund boss Paul Marshall for more funds after just 18 months.
