An audience member at the GB News People's Forum has hit out at the mainstream news channels, as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced a grilling from undecided voters.
On Monday night, the leader of the Conservative Party was questioned by a cross-party audience on the issues that matter most to them.
Hosted by Britain's News Channel, the event saw Rishi Sunak make clear that the country "needs a deterrent" to tackle illegal migration, and that "biological sex is important" when tackling transgender issues.
Speaking to audience members following the hour-long grilling, many admitted they were still left undecided on whether they would vote Tory at the general election.

Speaking after the event, John Davies from Darlington shared his reaction to the Prime Minister, and if the Forum could have a positive impact on the general election, widely expected to take place later this year.
Davies said Sunak has "not had an easy ride" as Tory leader, but argued the party "shouldn't change leader now" ahead of the election.
Other attendees at the event said the Prime Minister "presented himself well" and was "courteous" to those asking the hard-hitting questions.
One audience member was less optimistic, arguing Sunak has "lost the election" and predicted a downfall for the Conservatives.

Praising GB News in their broadcasting of the event and their general political coverage, Davies told the GB News reporter that he is a "regular" viewer of the channel.
He added: "You get the better view of things - I don't enjoy watching mainstream news outlets anymore. I much prefer GB News."
When asked if he used to watch other news outlets, Davies admitted he was a former viewer of both BBC and Sky.
Davies said in comparison to GB News, they "haven't changed much at all", but GB News "has better views and they tell the truth".

When asked who he is thinking of voting for in the next election following the People's Forum, Davies admitted: "I'm pretty certain I'll stick with Conservatives, I'm 99 per cent sure.
"I've been a lifelong Conservative supporter and I don't think I like any other party."
He continued: "I do like Reform, but they would just weaken the Conservative's numbers."
