  1. There are two main things that I would like to see happen to GB News (other than for it to fail ignominiously as a business & just close down): firstly, sitting MPs HAVE to stop being employed there. As I understand depending on exactly how this happens it can actually be a breach of OFCOM rules, but even if it isn't, it's just giving certain MPs a bully pulpit of what amounts to a TV channel of their own. A permanent party political broadcast where they say whatever they like, with no pushback, and then even if the audience for the the channel isn't huge, proper channels & newspapers clip the most click-baity bits and disseminate them far and wide. Secondly, they need a name change forced on them. It is NOT a news channel, it's right wing propaganda, much of it flat out lies.

  2. Please can we all make an effort to dump the phrase "The great and the good" forever? The people it refers to are usually neither great nor good.
