To your point, what independent media would that be? In the case of GB News, its enemies would in any case bombard OFCOM with complaints. The playing field is in sufficiently level.
I’m no fan of the government but I’d like to see some judicial fairness here.

I said independent professional journalists. They can be right-wing journalists like Andrew Neill but they need to be independent by not being an MP nor holding a position of power in a political party.
I'm not sure that because GB News oversteps the boundaries quite a lot (qv Fox and Wootton recently) and therefore attracts complaints, we have to compensate for that incompetence by allowing politicians of one party to interview one another to provide a level playing field of judicial fairness.
