Ofcom has launched new broadcast standards investigations into GB News and Talk TV.
The first investigation will look at whether an episode of GB News programme State Of The Nation complied with rules after Jacob Rees-Mogg covered a breaking news story about a civil trial verdict involving Donald Trump.
An Ofcom spokesperson said: “We are investigating whether this programme broke our rules, which prevent politicians from acting as newsreaders, unless exceptionally, it is editorially justified.”
The regulator will also investigate an episode of Talk TV’s Richard Tice presented by Alex Salmond.
A spokesperson said: “We are investigating whether this programme broke our rules requiring news and current affairs to be presented with due impartiality.”
