Ofcom Rules GB News Breached Broadcasting Standards with Laurence Fox's Comments

Media watchdog Ofcom has found GB News in violation of broadcasting rules following misogynistic comments made by Laurence Fox on the Dan Wootton show, leading to significant concerns over the network's editorial control.

Ofcom's investigation concluded that Laurence Fox's derogatory comments about journalist Ava Evans on GB News' Dan Wootton Tonight were misogynistic and broke broadcasting rules.
Fox and presenter Dan Wootton were suspended by GB News following the broadcast, with Fox later being sacked.
The incident, which received 8,867 complaints, has prompted Ofcom to request a meeting with GB News to discuss its compliance practices.
Laurence Fox was also arrested on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras, further complicating his legal and professional troubles.
GB News is currently under multiple Ofcom investigations for potential breaches of the broadcasting code, highlighting ongoing concerns about the network's compliance with regulatory standards.
