No? So all the hype of the UKs equivalent to Fox News which, you’ll agree holds far right views and certainly no balance?? I can’t wish you well as GB news is here to sow further distrust and feed on English racism, a path well trodden by the Tory government. Perhaps money?
You could you kindly send me a video clip of the channel to illustrate your point. I haven’t seen one. If your description is right the. I won’t be there very long. Best wishes. Simon

@BBCSimonMcCoy I was talking about GB News to someone who described you as a dear friend and colleague from many years ago who assures me it will be fair and not like fox or wouldn't have people like you and Colin B joining, She may too. Good luck for the futureThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I hope you’re being brought in to give the channel some credibility and maybe to set the irreverent tone. Not sure if that’s a good thing though if it’s then legitimising a platform for the right wing opinion (it’s not news it’s entertainment so we can say that we like) bits

Has everyine forgotten Simon was one of the talented people Andrew got in the door for sky news back in the late 80s. Far too many mystic people...

Being a reporter you’ll have done your research and you’ll be aware of the backers, added to the list of recognised right wing presenters, so no surprise. Jon Sopel comments on it being “... hyper-partisan news media”. If the glove fits ..

Perhaps wait to see it before passing judgement?

Assuming you know who is behind GB news - and it would be absolute insanity not to know something like that before taking up a post there - then you know very well what kind of a channel this is going to be. One doesn't need to have been to the North Pole to know it's cold.
