GB News claims Tory deputy chairman's interview of Home Secretary will be ‘duly impartial’

THE boss of GB News has claimed Tory MP Lee Anderson’s upcoming interview with Home Secretary Suella Braverman will be “duly impartial.”

Angelos Frangopoulos insisted the Conservative Party deputy chairman’s work hosting Lee Anderson’s Real World is “absolutely permitted under the [regulator] Ofcom rules,” arguing that none of them host “a news bulletin-based programme.”

Mr Anderson, who gets £100,000 a year for his show on top of his £86,584 MP’s salary, has billed his discussion with Ms Braverman — which is due to be aired this evening — an “exclusive scoop” and the “first interview on British soil since her landmark speech this week in the US.”

Ofcom chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes has said that the interview could comply with its rules as long as the “overall show preserves due impartiality.”
