Andrew Neill GB News
Andrew Neil has quit the BBC to launch a new right-leaning opinionated rolling news channel which aims to start broadcasting early next year as a rival to the public broadcaster and Sky.
GB News, which has drawn comparisons with Fox News, promises to serve the “vast number of British people who feel underserved and unheard” by existing television news channels, explicitly pitching itself into the middle of the culture war.
Neil said: “We’ve seen a huge gap in the market for a new form of television news … GB News is the most exciting thing to happen in British television news for more than 20 years. We will champion robust, balanced debate and a range of perspectives on the issues that affect everyone in the UK, not just those living in the London area.”
He will leave the BBC, where he has fronted many of its leading politics programmes, after hosting the broadcaster’s US general election coverage. He fell out with executives earlier this year after his own interview programme was cancelled, having already seen his contributions to Politics Live reduced and his late-night show This Week cancelled.

Wonder if his 'syrup' will get its own show?

Another viewpoint is fine he has been around the block long enough and seems to have the gravitas to attract some big hitters.
Perhaps Boris and Trump could go on together with Neil, a triumvirate of hair and testosterone.
Sponsored by Wella and Dobbies.
The action would of course be after the cameras stopped.

The problem is Boris won't appear.

Perhaps he will if he is assured of a sycophantic interview.
Like Fox does for Trump, but which he still manages to mess up.

I recall him hiding under some rock or other the last time he was supposed to face Neill.
Perhaps Andrew will be kinder this time, when all pretence of impartiality is dropped.

If "news" leans in any direction then it isn't news. It's opinion or propaganda.

Wonder how this will be funded, Tory Central Office, or Putin? just what we need to complete the dominance of propaganda over truth.

I take it they know something we don't about Northern Ireland rejoining the rest of the island politically?
Or don't they expect any news to come out of Northern Ireland worth mentioning? Because I can see a fair bit if the government start breaking the GFA.
