No surprise that Andrew Neil did not appear on Monday. Here's a snippet from the i newspaper. The bit about "get your popcorn ready" is intriguing.
Quote:
A source told i: “There have been big rows – he was meant to come on and they wanted to tackle him over what he said to Fiona Bruce on Question Time.
“But they decided against the question and dropped him from the show instead.”
They added: “The new chairman, Paul Marshall, who replaced Andrew, also told the newsroom the board was united in ‘sacking’ him, which is total bullshit. It’s all about to blow up – get your popcorn ready.”
While both the channel and presenter maintained he was taking a summer holiday, it is understood the two parties spent months mired in legal disputes over ending the contract, reported to be worth £700,000 a year.
Both GB News and Andrew Neil declined to comment.
