GB News: 30p Lee Anderson in trouble again & so is Mogg

30p Lee Anderson is in trouble again.

The Deputy party Chairman and now GB News ‘star,’ has a habit of getting in hot water.

He has already made headlines with his new show Lee Anderson’s Real World after spoon-feeding Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith baked beans

Also, he filmed a clip for GB news for promotional reasons on the roof of parliament, breaking the rules.

Mogg

While this is going on Ofcom has launched an investigation into an episode of GB News presented by Jacob Rees-Mogg.

An episode of GB News programme State Of The Nation is being looked into, after Rees-Mogg covered a breaking news story about a civil trial verdict involving for US President Donald Trump.

Femi wasn’t too impressed by Ofcom finally investigating…

He tweeted: “Come on everyone! Big slow clap for OFCOM!

“Finally deciding that there might be something fishy about senior Government politicians hosting “news” channels.”

30p Lee Anderson in trouble

Before we get into the new controversy, we quickly rewind back in 2021, when Lee Anderson claimed “if you need an extra £100,000 a year on top” of being an MP then “you should really be looking for another job”.

Here you go…

“We are paid handsomely for the work that we do.

"And if you need another hundred grand job on top, then you really should be looking for another job.”

Cat food

The new issue in question was Lee Anderson spending time trying to get fellow presenter Michelle Dewberry to eat cat food.

Mr Anderson has been branded an “embarrassment” over the incident, and people said it “deeply weird and uncomfortable” to watch.

30p Lee is losing the plot
How a channel – even a low grade propaganda channel can describe this as entertainment no-one knows.
How a PM can sanction this from Deputy Chair – everyone knows – he is too weak to act#ToriesOut360 #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/CE4Uog3UkF
