You seem surprised Andrew.

I had you down as someone who thinks GB news isn't the place to go for honest factual unbiased news . . . so you probably just watch it so you can have a dig at it.

Mary Whitehouse did that sort of stuff better

This must be one of the lowest points in the Channel's life. It shows the weakness of the Channel in that they ca n only get the PM on if he is interviewed by his own MPs!
A channel with any balls would insist on one of their journalists interviewing him.
This is more Brass Eye than Brass Eye itself!

Which parts of the interview are you most upset about, just asking for those who haven't seen it yet.

You’ve gone a bit overboard there, Andrew. If you are going to be right, it would have been best to await the broadcast and see what actually happens. McVey doesn’t pull her punches.

To me, GB News has improved to the extent that it serves my Conservative outlook. Sadly, I’m the true Conservative where the Guvmin largely isn’t.

I watch the GB news breakfast show, it’s basically the Sky breakfast show from 10years ago, when Sky was watchable.

It's just poor journalism and a clear conflict of interest by the MPs themselves to interviewed their own PM. Surely you can see this?

I don't bother with any news channels now, I'll sometimes look at BBC news website . . for about 2 minutes, just to see if there's anything different from the day (week) before

I think you're taking "conflict of interest" too far. An interview is nothing but just that (an interview), with no decisions taken and no financial interests being affected.

You're better when you are being objective.

The above apart, I've watched the interview. Mildly amusing; fairly content free and none of the important questions asked. But not a conflict of interest - just another interview.

Radio 4 had a problem getting any Conservative ministers to appear on its programme just a few months ago. And that’s your beloved BBC!

Not sure it’s a "problem" if they won’t turn up because they might have to answer questions they are uncomfortable with - more like cowardice…

You've just portrayed the conflict of interest neatly - none of the important questions asked. What MP is going to ask difficult questions of their own Prime Minister? Should have been more accurately tagged as a party political broadcast. Disappointing.

Disappointing, yes; conflict of interest, no.

Is Neil Oliver on GB news?

No, it was their aggressive, left-wing anti-government questioning, snide remarks and the constant interruptions, which left no room for answers. It was ridiculous.
