Hard to far right MP Lee Anderson who is currently Deputy Chair of the Tory Party is to host a show on the hard right social media site GB News. He joins Rees Mogg, Philip Davies and Esther McVey as sitting MPs who rather than representing their constituents, for which they are paid £84K a year, prefer to spout their views in the media.
Anderson’s bigoted views often feature on news reports makes an interesting addition to GB News. Earlier this year it stated that all its presenters would undergo OfCom training to make sure they stick to the required framework of balanced commentary and reporting.
This is something GBNews has struggled with and this week OfCom found against former presenter the far right Mark Steyn who had publicised anti-COVID vaccine views that were not only false but not balanced by the point that other views were available.
The meeting of GBNews, Anderson and OfCom will be, er, interesting. Certainly one of the Culture Wars of 2023
