GB News has been making headlines recently due to a series of controversies involving its presenters. The channel faced criticism for breaches of impartiality rules in interviews with political figures, as Ofcom found that alternative perspectives were not adequately presented. Additionally, former presenter Laurence Fox was arrested on suspicion of criminal activities, and another presenter, Calvin Robinson, was suspended for expressing support for a colleague. Laurence Fox was later suspended for making sexist comments about a journalist, leading to a disciplinary hearing and internal investigation.
