GB News CEO Angelos Frangopoulos responds to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy after criticism of Nigel Farage's show

GB News CEO Angelos Frangopoulos has responded to criticism issued by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy earlier today.

Speaking at the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, Ms Nandy said the “basis of democracy” is “fracturing” due to politicians fronting programmes on The People's Channel.

She added: "The public have a right to know if what they are seeing is impartial news or not."

In response, Mr Frangopoulos said: “The Culture Secretary is clearly either mistaken or misinformed about the nature of GB News programming.

"GB News has never and does not use politicians to present news programmes.

"Politicians can present current affairs programmes and, where that is the case, we - unlike others - always include different perspectives from across the political spectrum.

"We are entitled to do this under Ofcom rules: our recent success over Ofcom in the High Court has confirmed our approach is lawful and correct.

"It is therefore entirely wrong for the Secretary of State to suggest that GB News observes different standards to other broadcasters.

"In fact, it is GB News that is leading the way in serving the people of Britain with journalism which represents unheard voices from across the country.

"That is why GB News is Britain’s Number One News Channel."
