They now appear to have sacked one of the early morning presenters. It is not clear if they are cutting costs because they are losing money or if they are trimming the wage bill so they can take on Kay Burley or even Boris.

Sounds from this like the sacked presenter (Isabel Webster) is being replaced by someone else I've never heard of, Ellie Costello. No idea if Ellie costs less than Isabel.
Kay Burley was a big hate figure for their audience when Sky News was good. I don't think she'd be very welcome.

Please don’t call him that. He isn’t your chum Boris. He is a CUNT.

I prefer Bozo.
But whatever we call him, I think the prospect of him getting up at 4.30 every morning to present the breakfast show is pretty remote.

I am somewhat surprised they've stil kept on Beverly Turner on in many ways she's worse than Mark Dolan.

GBNews signed up Boris Johnson as a presenter in October 2023 for an undisclosed sum. He has yet to deliver one minute of content for them.

No but Turner is a full on anti vaxxer who defended Russell brand.

Most GB News viewers believe in vaccination, just like most US Republicans do. There's some weird dynamic whereby they don't get put off by Anti-vaxxers. I suppose anti-vax hasn't yet made enough impression for them to notice the bad things happening.

So no strategic change of direction, Dolan was probably just another tiring prick.

Here's how you up the ratings.

It seems appropriate that the interviewers were Miriam "Moar baybeez" Cates and Andrew "Tory Boy" Pierce.
Unclear whether a piss-take.
It certainly made Cates suggests a few conditions where she disagrees with breeding.
A little digging reveals that Charles Amos (Interviewee) is a sometime author at ConservativeHome.

There's been some digging. He's an absolute nutjob, extreme libertarian, argues in one article that street lights are commie.
Note how he shits himself when probed on what he thinks the age of consent should be.

More of Charles Amos, please. He's box office for all the wrong reasons and hope he gets selected as a Reform candidate before he's too notorious.

Maybe GBeebies viewers develop a natural immunity ... to conspiracy bollocks.
