Because it's mostly comedians and failed/ failing politicians chatting shit?

It's not news, it's something else.

Boris is such a saint and he is more Winn’s against than sinning. Even Jesus did not have to put up with such criticism.

Comedy gold 🤣🤣

It's not a news channel, it's an opinion channel.

Can't wait to see Johnson's election coverage - don't see how he would manage to talk about anyone but himself or indeed make it sound reasonable. It will be like Henry Root for 21st Century.

Just watched John Cleese's show on GBN and loved it.Shock

Not in the way I usually love GBN, but in an actual "This is a really good and informative show" way. Also, it had Lewis Schaeffer, I like him.

Still not News though.

I pressed the wrong number on the remote and got GB News. For a few minutes I thought I had stumbled on a repeat of KYTV.

OK Nadine. I apologise for plotting against the the greatest PM this country has ever known. He is totally vindicated.

I apologise profusely for the incorrect timeline, he had affairs when his wife did not have cancer.

Yes Nads, he also only told his friend he would help him facilitate the assault, he did not do it, he is always a people pleaser that Boris.

I like how you found out about google translate.

looking forward to your new book as you dish the dirt on the plot against the greatest PM the world has ever known.

@MadeleineMummy I am convinced Clav is Nads !! Or maybe Charlotte Owens

So she used the internet for research?

The Shadow Chancellor's new book, The Women Who Made Modern Economics, was engulfed in controversy today, after claims that she plagiarised sections of the book and had lifted sections entirely from Wikipedia.

The book included reproduced material from online blogs, Wikipedia, The Guardian and a report foreword by Labour MP Hilary Benn without acknowledging the sources.

More than 20 examples were spotted by the Financial Times.

Using the internet for research is a far more serious offence than missing Cobra meetings to hang out with one’s mistress, being complicit in the deaths of over 200k people, going to orgies with the son of a KGB agent during a chemical attack on the country.

She should be shot.

Yes Owens. She can use the internet unlike Nads.

IIRC Andrew Neill was part of the original project. How come he left?

Too busy dancing with young birds wearing vests?

Gosh haven't seen that for a while. Good old Brillo. An excellent journalist

It's not a news channel. It claims it's a talk show channel, which allows it to skirt OFCOMs rules of impartiality for news channels. But then it muddies the waters by calling itself GB News.

Either way, it's pile of BS, and appeals, in my opinion, to people who are easily sucked into crap, biased tv. It makes me really cross that my MIL (who in most ways is a lovely lady) believes every word they say, and spouts utter political nonsense at us, without any understanding of what she's saying. We can always tell when she's been watching GB News!

It's for the hard of thinking. Opinions for the lazy. Don't have facts, as that is what news is, just have opinions. Cheap TV like chewing gum for the eyes
