Ex-GB News chairman Andrew Neil reveals surprise at Ofcom ‘tolerance’

GB News ex-chairman Andrew Neil has expressed his surprise at broadcast regulator Ofcom allowing politicians sitting in the House of Commons to present political television programs.

Neil also speculated reasons for Ofcom's “leniency” during his evidence.
