Re: GB News
I think Neil's in a bit of a strop because he wanted to end his career on a high, taking on the incumbent broadcasters again as he did so successfully with Sky.
As the champagne and driver quote amply demonstrated, Neil's now a fully paid-up member of the global elite. He won't want to be remembered for his career having a similar trajectory to Alan Partridge's minus the recent bounce-back!

The neckless hunchback has already shot his bolt. I'm guessing, not wildly I think, that the broadcasters agree with me and Mick that he's obsessed with his own self-importance.

Re: GB News
I respected him for his street cred on interviewing politicians and holding them to account. But his bitter departure has shown him for what he really is, a pompous, arrogant and selfish man, AN has thrown well established news journalists, McCoy, Stewart and Brazier under the bus.

Re: GB News
He can be a pompous, arrogant and selfish man and still a good journalist though.

Yeah. He’s like Piers Morgan: cocky, arrogant, self righteous. But bloody good at holding people to account. Piers bit more shouty.

Re: GB News
Morgan and Neil are both a pair of clever, right-of-centre, talented journalists and broadcasters. But both are snowflakes who are happy to dish it out but are less good at taking it. I guess that insecurity helps get you to the top.

Re: GB News
Farage has totally changed the attractiveness of GB News - at least between 19:00 and 20:00 Monday to Thursday.
My wife and I don't like to miss his show. His interview style is brilliant. He recently went to Brixham and interviewed the fisherman. He got a group of them to sing a sea shanty. BBC and others don't come anywhere near his interviewing talents, imo.

He got into hot water with the British Legion recently for a GB News tweet which claimed he was working for them. They said he wasn't! A bit of virtue-signalling gone wrong!

Re: GB News
Haven't seen it but it's hard to see how long GB News can carry on for. Talk TV is probably going to finish it off in the new year.
Interested to see if Neil goes back to the BBC or goes to Talk TV. I think he is going to try for the BBC first. It'll be awkward for them giving how vocal he was about leaving but he is an excellent political interviewer so it'll be good for him to return to do the Leaders Interviews before the next election.

The neckless hunchback may be salivating at the now vacant Andrew Marr slot.
