Interested to see if Neil goes back to the BBC or goes to Talk TV. I think he is going to try for the BBC first. It'll be awkward for them giving how vocal he was about leaving but he is an excellent political interviewer so it'll be good for him to return to do the Leaders Interviews before the next election.

Compared to sky news, an established station of over 30yrs, it’s not doing that badly.

Agreed. It carries both actual news plus an unconventional approach to news analysis. Not the disaster I once thought it to be.

Sky News is a loss leader for Sky Television and still gets much better ratings. It's hard to get precise figures as after an inital bump when Farage came on they don't seem to register figures high enough to be measured in the first place. It seems in late September they were averaging 21,000 to Sky's 57,000.
GB News isn't going to be able to sustain itself and it's unclear who would underwrite them in the way Sky funds Sky News (because Sky makes money overall).
It's hard to see what can turn it around for them especially after Murdoch enters the market early next year.

Looks like a lefty idiot to me moaning to the RBL, because Farage, apparently "right wing", was doing a report on Remembrance Sunday, near a Poppy selling stall. Some people need to get a bloody grip.

Re: GB News
If Farage will lie about something as trivial as that, what else would he lie to us about?

Whilst not wishing to influence the BBC's decision over who replaces Marr Bozo did helpfully request the new show be called "Kuenssberg on Sunday", he wants it to bare no relation to any new presenter, he just feels a longer title will help people wake up and be more alert for the show.
I see bozo is also denying he said he had 'buyers remorse" over his marriage to Carrie, bet the feeling is more than mutual!

No, but he was trying to establish credibility for himself on the back of implying an endorsement that did not exist. Fraud by any other name.
As stated earlier if he will lie about that for his own ends - tarring the name of a long established and well meaning charity - what else would he lie about?

It's not uncommon for some politicians to try and tie themselves in with the RBL and the RBL take a very dim view of it.

Let’s be truthful here, there’s plenty of pathetic Remainers out there doing their best to sabotage it, because of their psychopathic love of the corrupted EU.

It's a Leave-supporting Government in charge of all of this. It was Boris Johnson's deal as well.
