🚨Must read thread on GB News! 🚨
Andrew Neil claims that “British people are crying out for a news service that is more diverse and more representative of their values and concerns”
Whose concerns will it REALLY represent?
We investigate... /1

“US media group Discovery Inc is the other co-lead investor. Its significant shareholder is John Malone, the libertarian and erstwhile Murdoch cable rival”

“The channel’s third major investor is British businessman and philanthropist Sir Paul Marshall”
According to Byline Times, Marshall is the man who convinced Michael Gove to throw his political weight behind Brexit... /4
Meanwhile, he made clear that he is as avariciously “British” as the rest of his investors by…“setting up a fund in Dublin..."
/5
Not a great start, is it?
How about the claim that GB News will be “proudly independent” and focus on “debate that embraces all voices and opinions across Britain”?

GB News Chairman and lead presenter Andrew Neil made his name as Rupert Murdoch’s lackey at the Sunday Times
As editor of The Sunday Times Neil boasted that “Thatcher’s battles were our battles”
/8
And:
“Notoriously, refused to accept the consensus view of Aids, promoting the idea that this was a disease of gay men and drug addicts..."

There's plenty of other evidence out there that Neil is a rabid right-winger (Spectator Chaiman, Iraq war), but what of the other lead recruits at GB News?

"Rebecca Hutson who is joining as head of digital. The former Mail Online director of video will also appear on-air"

Wooton left Murdoch's Sun to join GB News
Simultaneously, he took up a position as a columnist with the Mail on Sunday...

We suppose it’s possible that a TV show funded by mega-rich free market devotees and staffed by ex-Murdoch, News Corp, Daily Mail right-wingers will be “impartial” and embrace “all voices and opinions”
Actually, no we don’t

“I get out of London as much as possible when Parliament is not sitting" Neil boasted in an Independent column on his French chateau.
"I either come here or go to New York”

Oh Andrew! You make it too easy!

They will be “fearless in tackling the issues people care about, especially in communities outside of London”
As we've seen, the communities GB News will serve do indeed exist outside of London...

More from Government
Abbott is pushing a lie to protect incompetence. There is no Federal oversight of the Texas Grid, ergo fewer regulations (sound familiar) - so point one: state legislature needs reform. 2/
2. Point 2: there were clear signs the grid would get overloaded under extreme cold conditions. Why? Due to a vacuum of regulations mandating winterization of turbines and power generators. This from sources, in Texas!
3. Point 3: Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal and gas fired plants. Power generators were just not winterized. Decisions to do so have been ignored since the 1990s.
4. Point 4: these are winterized wind turbines in Denmark. The ocean is frozen. The turbines are generating.
5. #Texas| the main issue is: catastrophic governance at the State level (no Federal oversight of the Texas grid) failing to allocate funding to winterise the Natural Gas, Coal and Wind Turbine elements that contribute to the grid. (~ 80/20

Same thing in Denmark. It's cold enough here that the ocean is frozen and yet look at those reliable windmills just chugging along. pic.twitter.com/1NTljk7hk9
