Overview

• Amankona filed an employment tribunal claim in June 2025 citing unfair dismissal, race discrimination, victimisation, whistleblowing detriment and unequal pay.
• He has launched a public crowdfunding campaign with the Good Law Project to support his legal action against GB News.
• GB News removed Amankona from The Saturday Five in August 2024 after he called former Home Secretary Suella Braverman a “racist” on air.

• Amankona alleges that non-white staff at GB News face differential treatment and says a June 2024 internal complaint about racist behaviour received no immediate action.
