Ok so I left Britain more than 15 years ago and have been living in Norway, blissfully unaware of what’s been happening. I recently went back to visit family, where I notice that my dad’s had a bit of a swing to the right, politically speaking. At some point he put on gbnews.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?

How popular is this blatant propaganda?

      GB News has paid Conservative MPs more than £660,000 in appearance fees and salaries since it launched, against just £1,100 to Labour MPs, Guardian analysis shows.
