The broadcast regulator is looking into whether People’s Forum: The Prime Minister on GB News breached impartiality rules. The programme, which saw Prime Minister Rishi Sunak take questions from the public in a live Q&A in Co Durham on February 12, has prompted about 500 complaints. We've opened a new due impartiality investigation into GB News. GB News is currently being investigated by Ofcom for a number of other shows, including many over impartiality issues. Former pensions minister Esther McVey and backbencher Philip Davies are also presenters on GB News, and former culture secretary Nadine Dorries began hosting a programme on TalkTV before she quit as an MP.
