    It wasn't long ago that they had Nigel Farage interviewing Donald Trump - a proto-fascist 'interviewing' an actual fascist. 30p Leenoch interviewing Cruella Braverman is just a downmarket version of that shameful episode.

    GB News is the fastest growing news outlet. The BBC has been pumping out left wing propaganda for years. Particularly Newsnight. And avoiding mention of scandals like Rotherham Pakistani child abuse. Many people are tired of being duped. Left wing commentators have free speech on GBNews. That's what it's about. A frank debate.

    Laurence Fox though, is an attention-seeking idiot and should be sacked. BBC and Sky have had their own problem journalists. It happens.

    I've never heard of a proto- fascist. Is that from the Woke dictionary?

    Wark, Sopel, Esler, Marr, Matliss and the rest are all (now) self- confessed lefties. How many people did they interview?

    Yes in the same way if I had £5 to my name last week and £10 this week I’d be 100% richer.

    The BBC are painfully balanced, inviting any old lunatic on to promote Brexit against someone educated and informed in their field who actually knows what they’re talking about.

    You don’t actually have a problem with “metropolitan elites”, whatever the **** that really means. You just want propagandists who will convince useful idiots to be more bigoted than they otherwise would be.

    You're just getting the jitters because Sunak is closing on his Knightship in the polls. People won't watch GB News if it doesn't resonate with them. Generally it does. It's pissing all the Champagne socialists off and I love it. Defund The BBC.

    There will always be a market for telling racist simpletons what they want to hear at least until the boomers are dead but probably longer.

    I think we should all be pissed off when what is effectively Tory TV is pumping out this ****. Does this mean you’re a Tory again this week?

    What’s wrong with “champagne socialism” anyway- a nonsense term wheeled out by and for idiots? Why should only the poor care about the poor?

    They were scrupulously unbiased in their interviews, as were right wing presenters Andrew Neil and Nick Robinson. It's what the BBC does - it is unbiased.

    GBeebies is obviously and shamelessly biased towards the far right, which is why you like it. I see you.

    You haven't answered my question. Who is far right on GB News and how do you know?

    Or is it just a guess from behind the sheets of The Morning Star?

    You didn't ask that question, which is why I didn't answer it. I'd say Farage, Anderson and Rees-Mogg are good examples of far right presenters, though. Who are the left wing representatives you refer to?

    Can chuck a few Brexit Party/UKIP politicians/failed candidates too. Not sure what wing you’d find Neil Oliver on other than the segregated one in prison. I’d include the likes of Darren Grimes and Sophie Corcoran but they’re just paid to tweet stuff mostly.

    Your definition of Far Right is warped. Hitler was Far Right. Mussolini was Far Right. Jacob Rees Mogg is not Far Right. Nor are the other two. They believe in Parliamentary democracy.

    Left wing commentators - I've been listening to James Schneider tonight, who was Corbyn's PR secretary. Gloria de Piero. Steven Pound. Michael Crick and many others whose names I can't remember.

    Loads of competition for most barmy contribution at the Monster Raving Loony Tory Party conference.

    Indonesia has disgraced itself by not sticking to either its timetable or budget for its 88 mile high speed rail line from Jakarta to Bandung. It’s three years late and nearly £2bn over budget…..at £7.6bn.

    These third world countries just can’t handle big infrastructure projects.

    Sir Nige is welcome to join the Tories according to our pint-sized Prime Minister as it’s a “broad church”. They’re digging up Enoch Powell and the ghost of Hitler to stand as candidates at the next election apparently.

    The North will now get the same super snazzy trains going on the regular line at regular speed so be grateful.
