He’s the most famous person on the roster. This is what he’s been up to. As relevant as the breakfast presenters hairstyle.
The main purpose is stated in the title. All things GBNews related.
How about discussing the stories talked about on GB News today. When I have listened they have been discussing whether there is a need for an emergency census that a think tank has proposed. The main argument seems to be that some towns (Middlesbrough and Preston) have seen their populations increase by 10% in recent years and they are not getting anywhere near the amount of funds to support local services. An emergency census would help prove their argument that they need more money from Central Government.
Would an emergency census be welcome or would you like to wait until 2031?
One of the stated aims of this census would be: "The unprecedented level of immigration-driven population growth which has taken place since the March 2021 England & Wales Census."
Yes, I think we can see why GB News wants to cover this story...
Inserting denominational categories such as Catholic, Protestant, Sunni, and Shia for the Census question on religious affiliation.
Reframing the question on national identity so respondents are given the opportunity to report the relative strength of their British and English identities.
Removing the 2021 Census questions on gender self-identification and sexual orientation (which were first introduced in the last edition with limited success).
Adding a new question on how long one has been living at their current home and where they lived before, to develop a richer understanding of internal migration.
Encouraging the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to work more closely with private marketing firms, polling companies, and reputable civic associations in the delivery of the Census.
And then they list the coverage they've had for the proposals..

They dont like scrutiny, plus he'll never be there anyway!
PMQs doesn’t really provide any scrutiny, it’s just pantomime for the cameras. I think that PMQs sets the tone for a lot of political discourse generally because it’s what people think that parliament looks like.
Nobody tunes in to watch a committee session on a non-party political issue where a lot of MPs, across all parties, do actually work together trying to do what they feel is best for the country, or meeting their constituents and writing letters on their behalf. That doesn’t fit the narrative of all MPs being a waste of space.

100% agree. PMQ is, and always has been really, a Punch and Judy show.

Especially when they first televised it back in 1989.
Was PMQ’s any better before it was televised. I know it used to be 2 15 minute sessions a week
I would sometimes listen to it on the radio where maybe they were not playing it up as much but it was a long time ago and my memory has more important things to try and remember .
The 2 x 15 sessions were televised, it was only under Tony Blair that it changed to its current format

Sounded just as bad when they started broadcasting the audio on radio a good 10 years or so before then.
Malone is an awful old fishwife, GB News deleted the entire show which contained her apology from YouTube
By her own admission, she delivers comments, as a presenter on GB News, based on what she has seen on-line.
She was even questioned about the validity of the claim yet repeated it, rather than doing some research, like any proper journalist or presenter would have done first anyway, she just repeated the same claim.

No. It has always sounded like an unruly rabble.
I do listen to PMQ’s most weeks and wonder if it sounds more like a farmyard with the constant noise of MP’s trying to interrupt each other for scoring tactical points.
Mind that’s probably an insult to the animals in the farmyard
I see Reform and GBNews are going heavy on the cancelled (postponed) local elections.
Starmer is making a huge error here - I do believe now the only way to defeat reform currently is if they have proper scrutiny.
Labour has lost the narrative on the reasons these elections have been postponed - the best thing they can do currently is let them go ahead.. let reform control some of these big councils.. let people see what a complete mess they make of it.

Quite rightly so by GB News very undemocratic!
Your point may end up being correct. Although I think any mess up of councils by Reform, would help the Tories more than Labour.

I don’t think Reform have a leg to stand on talking about democratic
How was the leader elected?
How many defections have happened without bi elections?

Not the same thing. Reform members have the mechanism to force a change of leader. Not very often a bi election is called in recent times when a defection happens. e.g. Bury south should have been one then when Wakeford defected to Labour.

It's a very poor spectacle these days.

Nigel Farage came out of the draw for a Parliamentary question today,apparently he was a no show,probably too busy helping his constituents I bet.
He probably has as much genuine concern for farmers as he does for the constituents of Clacton
I wouldn’t imagine Clacton has a big farming community.

If there's not money in it for him he won't be interested one way or the other.
What do you mean 'these days'?

I tell you what Reform will do if they get in......bring in The Purge.

We seek him there,
That Damn Farage,
We seek him everywhere
Is he hell!
He's only in places,
That serve him well
