I recently started watching GB News and am finding it so interesting. Once you get past the different format to the usual news programmes it is very good. There are so many different views expressed from all political spectrums. I like that contributors are allowed to say their piece and it's then debated. Not just left or right wing views.

Andy Burnham has been interviewed on GB News, just saying…

Sorry I'm being a bit dim GG, but what should I take from the above post?

Labour?

I think what some of us are trying to say, is: the perception on here seems to be that everyone who appears on GBNews is to the right of Attilla the hun, when they’re not.

Namsnanny Tue 27-Jun-23 19:28:06

So I thought.
To be honest, I'm happy for them to interview anyone with any views who want to be heard.
I always think, I've lost nothing by listening, and who knows, I might learn something.

Very well done, Nigel.
I was always told to lose with good Grace. Obviously that message has not got through to the despicable audience at the awards ceremony.

Well done Nigel, just like Brexit the silent majority have voted as for booing, sad losers. Empty vessels make the most noise.

I ❤️ GB News. It’s my go-to channel. Surf the others.

Love it. Cue much gnashing of teeth grin

Apparently the media attending the awards heckled and booed Nigel Farage.
Because it was an award voted for by the audience, I suppose.
Such arrogance.

I know, I’m watching it now. Their behaviour was absolutely disgusting but he handled it so well…..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

GB news has won several awards. The Breakfast Show won, and
Nigel Farage has won the Tric award for presenter of the year.

Whenever someone criticises the idea of free speech I think oh theres someone who is authoritarian and I maintain a polite distance.

I watched GB news channel most of yesterday as too hot to go out!
Pleasantly surprised at the varied debates...Enjoyed angela rippon interviewing people about their lives as you may find on radio4. It's a channel for free speech with many people heading debates which I enjoyed.
eamonn holmes is a lost cause and lost the plot but so many.

You were pleasantly surprised at the varied debates.
I was agreeing with that.
The snobbery comment was not aimed at you but at the sniffy remarks generally made about GB News, mainly by those who have never really watched it.

AmberSpyglass Mon 26-Jun-23 22:55:02

Whenever someone claims to be in favour of free speech these days, I always mentally add “free to be talking total bollocks” and maintain a polite distance.

Oreo Mon 26-Jun-23 22:52:00

I could say the same thing to you lemsip

lemsip Mon 26-Jun-23 20:43:49

Oh the snobbery on here!
Watch varied debates as Lemsip says and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by GB News.
Free speech is a wonderful thing, even the freedom to disagree with what someone is saying is good.

so ' Lemsip says and you’ll be pleasantly surprised'

oh no she didn't

please have the decency to read a comment properly before commenting!

I forgot to say the wonderful Lady Colin Campbell is often on there as a guest and she is hilarious and certainly doesn’t mince her words about Harry and Meghan for example. She just says it!!

They regularly have Meghan’s father Thomas Markle on there too and he seems a really nice old boy who is still open to meeting Meghan, Harry and their children despite Meghan showing no interest or support in his health or indeed his life.
GB News gets the guest on that other channels don’t and they get answers to questions that other channels daren’t touch.
