Summary
GB News is suffering a full scale implosion: technical disasters were followed by a near total collapse in its audience, the sudden absence of founder Andrew Neil, the resignation of senior figures, and then a public repudiation of a presenter who took the knee and his removal from air at the behest of angry viewers - on a TV station which claimed to be founded to oppose 'cancel culture' and the censorious mob.
