I'm surprised, I always assumed he was a bit more, er shall we say, progressive than the rest of the talent being hired for GB News.
I really hope he doesn't immediately start slagging off his previous employer once he leaves, always a disappointment when that happens.
I suppose it's typical of right-wing populist talk channels to have one or two token voices of the opposition on them - especially true in the UK owing to rules around impartiality.
Well it looks like Simon will be doing a lot of OBs instead of being in Paddington. It'd also count towards GB's claim of representing their audience that doesn't look towards a more left-leaning London.
Asa’s GB News alarm is going to be blaring now! Seems discussion about GBN can never be avoided. Not that it’s going to matter in a few days time.
A great signing for GBN but has a very negative reaction on Social Media. I must say it’s very disheartening to see him shift to an outlet of opinion based right wing broadcasting.
I suspect this is the name that someone suggested a few weeks back people really would want to talk about. Suspect GB News will be fairly straight laced during the day, then opionated at night, with the "balanced" daytime service used as justification for any straying from impartiality at night.
