I guess. But that is todays 'news'. It is the biggest story around & will likely lead the bulletins we'll see over the rest of the day.

This probably goes back to the comment that's been said here before, but should GB News really have 'news' in the title?

I understand where you’re coming from, but I think for those (myself not included I might add) who don’t want wall to wall reshuffle coverage it’s good that they’re covering other news (which they are, alongside the debates).

Can you confirm what other news ( and I don’t mean endless comment on stories which are days old ) that GB news were covering this afternoon?

I'd be interested to see what happens with McCoy if he does leave, as he obviously won't be going back to the BBC but he seems like such a talent to waste not being on air. I think he is probably in the better place on GBN, because the Breakfast show is as far away from any of the what-ever-winged evening programmes & Kirsty isn't exactly politically aligned like Alex is.

Also crazy money being banded around for Piers Morgan. Going off the latest Popbitch email, it looks like News UK have signed Piers in some sort of tie in to a TV/talkRADIO situation. But I cannot see him signing for that if it is online only, so maybe they're going to stream roll right over GB News...

I was a big fan of McCoy before he left his helm at The BBC. He was well liked here, internally, and by us viewers. I doubt very much they'd have him back. Those who went to GBN are all tarnished. It'll be very difficult for Simon to find a home elsewhere after this utter disaster.

- A very fair amount on the reshuffle
- M25 protests

Ah yes, the M25 protests that GBN falsely claimed caused a major pile up:

Couldn't agree more - you can understand why they make the assumptions but the stories just need more thought and verification before they're published.

To be fair, I don't think he has publicly criticized the channel's agenda, unless I've missed it, he has said it is down to him reducing his work commitments. Now what he says in private I'm not privy to ...
