@ATVToday @MikeGne The latest MC Top 30... GB News isn't - again - in it, which shows when there is actual breaking news people go to the BBC/Sky. GB News is more Loose Women with politics.

@MikeGne As our showbiz drag queen noted the last time they fanned the b*llshit:

Gb News has viewers watching for long periods of time, the other outlets get bigger ratings but in shorter time spans, for a channel that goes on about spin they're good at lying to the viewers they do attract on this. Never in the multichannel top30 unlike SKY/BBC often are.
