I recommend Bissell machines for carpet cleaning. Don't leave it whatever you do....

Re: GB News

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.

Well he has commented now: https://twitter.com/afneil/status/1440797569836146690

After weeks of talks with @GBNEWS, resulting in exit settlement, the channel then broke it by briefing Mail on Sunday with load of smears/lies then unilaterally cancelling exit deal. Leaving me free to do, say whatever I want + never again be on GBNews. Couldn’t be happier.

Re: GB News

Andrew Neil: will stay silent for cash.

Doesn’t give off an immediate whiff of integrity does it? Then again lecturing us from the south of France was probably a giveaway.

If you believed he was on holiday then this will arrive as a shock to you, but I think only but a few gullible individuals fell for that ruse.

Re: GB News

Who cares. Neil is a pompous individual who over-rated his own self-importance at the BCC, especially at the time of the general election.

However, Murdoch seems keen to have him back so we'll see how that develops.

Re: GB News

I think Neil has cut his nose off to spite his face, BBC probably won’t rehire him, some folk say Mr Murdoch will take him on, I doubt that now from how he berated Fox News last week, calling it a channel that deals with untruths, conspiracy theories and fake news, that’s not him taking to embracing Murdoch’s news outfit.

Neil's probably happy enough to stick with his role as chairman of The Spectator. He has his pride/ego, his age and plenty of cash so won't want to rush into anything else at the moment.

Maybe Sky? Maybe free lancing and doing the 'big interviews' for the BBC, ITV or C4 come the next election?

It's a shame because I thought he was a great interviewer so I wish he had been a bit more diplomatic in his departure from the BBC. He seemed to take unnecessary shots at them upon leaving.

He seems to have been a bit arrogant in not appreciating the importance of this production crew at the BBC given how little importance was paid to that when setting up GB News and his subsequent frustration when the consequences of that became clear with all the mistakes and quality issues.

Would a broadcaster like Sky want a 75-year-old white male who's associated himself with the right-of-centre doing the big interviews with politicians?
I can see him doing a series eg interviews of figureheads eg Andrew Neill interviews ex-Prime Ministers for Channel 5 or yesterday but I think his days of making the news are over.
