GB News has issued a statement from Esther McVey, who was appointed minister without portfolio in the Cabinet Office on Monday, confirming she is giving up her presenting job with the channel. It quotes McVey as saying:
The prime minister asked me to join his government to help bring about the common sense changes the country needs. Given the scale of the challenges we face, it is incumbent on all of us to do what we can, and I will roll up my sleeves and do my best for the government and the country.
But this was far from an easy decision for me to make as it means relinquishing my role on GB News – in particular presenting a show I love with Phil [Davies]. I don’t think it is a coincidence that when the prime minister looked for a champion for common sense he selected someone from GB News – the home of common sense.
On Monday the Sun carried a story saying the “common sense tsar” tasked with “tackling the scourge of wokery”.
The Guardian.
Laughable comments about GB News, which is an obvious right wing outlet.
