While I do wish he would just disappear and we never hear from him again I do think that he’ll spike viewers for GB News, which had made my disappointment of this news a hundred times worse. It was just getting to the point that GB and Talk TV would have to merge or go bust now this happens.
What makes it even worse than GB continued existence is that he’s going to be the subject of so many stupid memes as he just cannot help himself with his dumb comments (or he does it on purpose, you decide).
Echo you completely. Race to the bottom.
Is GB News the British version of Fox News?
Correct
Yeah, kind of. One thing of note is that a lot of presenters on GB News are not just paying members of right-wing political parties, but are actually “serving” or former MP, MEPs and, now, PMs.
They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel now …
Good luck to them. Last I heard there were around 12 ofcom Investigations into the channel.
Ofcom will not do anything until they know for certain Labour is heading into power. I sincerely hope they are on the list of things to look into once the Tories are gone. There is a massive case for dereliction of duty here imo.
Absolute prison time for that woman, she’s 100% on the take there’s absolutely no possible other interpretation of the facts why else would you have dozens of simultaneous investigations and yet do nothing?
It very much depends if she has emails to show she was working under instruction. That is the only possible defence I can see.
It’s the perfect place for him to be fair.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The ex-PM sensationally quit as an MP in June after claiming he was the victim of a “witch hunt” over his Partygate scandal – having been found to have deliberately lied to the Commons about his knowledge of rule-breaking.
Although he no longer enjoys his £86,000 salary since quitting his Uxbridge seat, Mr Johnson is said to have secured a “very-high six-figure sum” to write his weekly column for The Mail.
It is not clear whether Mr Johnson will carry on with his Mail column – in which he has written about his dog Dilyn, the Elon Musk-Mark Zuckerburg row and his love of cheddar cheese – after starting with GB News.
He now joins a number of former Tory colleagues including close ally Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and current Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson at the channel.
The channel said Mr Johnson would be joining as a “presenter, programme maker and commentator”, adding that he would be playing a “key role” in the coverage of both the upcoming UK and US elections.
News of his latest gig comes as former Tory chancellor George Osborne claimed that “disgusting and misogynistic” WhatsApps sent by Mr Johnson and his former adviser Dominic Cummings will come out at the Covid inquiry.

Oh, they’re branching out in to comedy. Cool!
For what? He does not have the necessary smarts for a good news source or commentary, nor has he the looks for TV.
