Inside GB News’ Misinformation Factory

GB News has just been found to have breached impartiality rules by regulator Ofcom for the third time since its launch in 2021. The decision centres around an episode of Saturday Morning with Esther and Phil, the discussion programme hosted by the Conservative MP husband and wife duo Esther McVey and Philip Davies. In something resembling a broadcast from a post-coup state, the show featured a pre-recorded interview between the pair and their own party’s Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, talking about the Government’s economic policy ahead of the spring budget. The programme received 45 complaints, and the investigation found that during the discussions “no real attention was given anywhere in the programme to the viewpoints of politicians, political parties, organisations or individuals that either, for example, criticised, opposed or put forward policy alternatives to the viewpoints given by the three Conservative politicians.” Esther and Phil aren’t the only Conservative politicians controversially hosting shows on the channel to have come under fire, with three of the four most recent investigations concerning sitting MPs. Given multiple failures to adhere to basic regulatory standards on GB News, the revolving door between the channel and politicians raises serious questions about the appropriateness of public officials continuing to accept lucrative positions with the broadcaster. Conservative MPs have been paid nearly £350,000 for appearances on GB News since the start of 2023, Byline Times analysis shows.
