When GB News took a journalist off air during a debate about freedom of speech this weekend, the irony was lost on no-one. Broadcaster Michael Crick provoked a producer’s ire when he said live on air that it was “absurd” that GBN employs so many Tory MPs on the channel. He also said that Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, “should get a grip on you lot”.
Apparently the furious producer then marched onto the studio floor and shouted “You! Out!” during a hastily announced advert break on Saturday. “It was all very frosty,” Crick told us.
