Overview

• Ofcom ruled that an interview with Richard Tice on GB News, conducted by Martin Daubney, breached impartiality rules due to insufficient challenge of Tice's views on immigration and asylum policy.
• The program, which involved discussion of the controversy of small boats crossing the English Channel, did not provide an appropriately wide range of significant views, according to the regulator.
• GB News accepted the program was in breach of impartiality requirements and committed to providing relevant staff with further compliance training.
• The ruling marks another setback for GB News, which is currently under investigation by Ofcom for issues with impartiality and the conduct of its presenters.
• Laurence Fox, for whom Daubney was standing in, was recently dismissed by GB News following misogynistic comments he made on-air about a female journalist.
