GB News, the favoured trash outlet for lovers of the Reform Party, has broken Ofcom rules. Again. After finding a classic example of rank misogyny "funny", leading Tories and favourites to abscond to Reform in "quiet desperation" (Pink Floyd) the Minister for the 18th Century and his fruit cake accomplice, the Minister for Common Sense (couldn't make that up could you, have been found to have broken the rules.

And what about the Labour politicians on LBC?I Two weeks ago OFCOM were trying the same thing with Nigel Farage, until it was pointed out he is not a politician!I The left are desperate to shut down GB News. What a sad day that will be for free speech if it ever happens.

Sorry, but you cannot complain about politicians presenting on GB News, when Labour politicians presenting on LBC are left alone! It is obvious political bias. I neither watch GB News or listen to LBC as the last thing I ever want to hear is politicians of whatever persuasion prattling on, but I do believe in fairness, and we are not getting that from OFCOM.

This is the rule that GB broke "A series of Ofcom investigations today concluded that five programmes on GB news featuring politicians acting as news presenters broke broadcasting due impartiality rules. Under the Broadcasting Code, news, in whatever form, must be presented with due impartiality. Additionally, a politician cannot be a newsreader, news interviewer or news reporter unless, exceptionally, there is editorial justification. In line with the right to freedom of expression, broadcasters have editorial freedom to offer audiences a wide range of programme formats, including using politicians to present current affairs or other non-news programmes. Politicians may also appear in broadcast news content as an interviewee or any other type of guest. Individual programmes can also feature a mix of news and non-news content and move between the two genres. If, however, a licensee chooses to use a politician as a presenter in a programme containing both news and current affairs content, it must take steps to ensure they do not act as a newsreader, news interviewer or news reporter in that programme"

Thankyou Epping , yes I stay positive as upto now everything is treatable , it’s never good having cancer but as they said prostrate wise you’ve got the best you could , and if it wasn’t for regular prostrate mri scans we would of been none the wiser of tumour on kidney as no symptoms , noticed a cyst on kidney 3 yrs ago , 3 yrs later described as complex cyst and now tumour ( confined to kidney ) , which without mri scans could of well been outside kidneys by the time we/ I realised / had symptoms . I’d obviously though would like to get it gone as even though they said slow growing , it is growing ( and it looked big on scan I was shown ) Thanks again

We pay these people enough for running the country, to be honest I don't think any serving politician should be allowed to have another job too. They're career politicians but also career any other pie they choose to stick their sticky fingers in.

This problem has not been created by politicians fronting shows, but Ofcom trying to shape things to their own political viewpoint. Have you ever watched the news on Channel 4? That is so biased towards the left it is unreal, but Ofcom say it's ok because it is not fronted by politicians! They also tried to pin the same charges against Nigel Farage, until it was pointed out he is not a politician.

Two tier attitudes to racism (anti-semitism hate crime is fine, critisize any other religion, nationality, or colour - your feet won't touch the floor). I'm spotting a trend...

Reform moved up 3 points to 16 % of the vote with labour down 4 points to 40% , a lot of experts are now predicting labour won’t get a majority Lots of mates moving from tories / labour to reform , labour mp on radio saying to vote for them not reform , if nothing else it’s got the two big parties to realise we’ve had enough of them .
