Re: GB News
Now that Nigel Farage is on board, what other names will GB go for? Laurence Fox? Katie Hopkins?

What tedious point are you trying to make now?
Hopkins has appeared all over the place, been on ITV’s loose women. She’s too controversial and liability for a news channel.
Fox is a leader of his own party, couldn’t be a presenter as per OfCom rules.

Nigel Farage is the Honorary President of the Reform U.K. Party, and is one of the 3 Directors (and Shareholders) of the Reform U.K. Party.
Wonder why he can be a presenter?

According to Companies House, yes…

And if you don’t think that the major shareholder of a Party isn’t a major leadership position, I’ve got a bridge you might want to buy…
Anyhoo, as Farage (or Fox) will not be presenting a News programme, it’s not an issue with OFCOM
Quote:
Due impartiality and due accuracy in news
5.1: News, in whatever form, must be reported with due accuracy and presented with due impartiality.
5.2: Significant mistakes in news should normally be acknowledged and corrected on air quickly (or, in the case of BBC ODPS, corrected quickly). Corrections should be appropriately scheduled (or, in the case of BBC ODPS, appropriately signaled to viewers).
5.3: No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience.

probably slither back to the bbc

He says he now feels defamed by GB News, could be an indication of a forthcoming lawsuit.
Apparently, his taking the knee was a stunt discussed beforehand & now they've used it to get rid of him!

Has he got recordings of phone calls, text messages, copies of emails and transcripts like that nice, sincere and totally believable Mr Cummings had?

It’s not a leadership position, it’s an honorary one. Honorary President is just that, “Hononary”, it doesn’t bestow any duties or requirements or role. Richard Tice and David Bull are leaders of Reform.

Don't know, it was just a 'sources close to Gutto Harri say...' thing, so could be a load of rubbish. Guess we'll find out with the passage of time.

Paul Oakden, Richard Tice, and Nigel Farage are the Shareholders and Directors of Reform U.K. Party Limited.

Sigh... 
Nigel Farage is not a leader of the party, nor a politician.
