Michael Grade, the former chairperson at Ofcom, has defended the media watchdog’s (lack of) handling of GB News under his leadership. He lionised the far-right propaganda outlet as “giving voice to a strong body of opinion in this country which has been ignored for years”. As part of an interview with the Guardian, Grade tried to argue that critics of GB News feared contrasting viewpoints. He said: The fact is, what people don’t like is the fact that there is a television station giving voice to a strong body of opinion in this country which has been ignored for years.

In news nobody saw coming, it would appear that the Algeria men’s football team are receiving a warm welcome at their World Cup base camp in Kansas. Americans don’t really get sport. They are famously terrible at most sports of note, after all.
