GB News Faces New Ofcom Investigation Over Controversial LGBTQ+ Comments

The media regulator is scrutinizing a January episode of Headliners while dropping multiple prior investigations into the channel's impartiality breaches.

Ofcom has launched an investigation into a January episode of GB News's Headliners after complaints about a remark associating LGBTQ+ inclusion with paedophiles.
The episode received over 1,300 direct complaints, with an additional 71,851 complaints submitted via a petition organized by the Good Law Project.
GB News CEO Angelos Frangopoulos has accused far-left groups of orchestrating a campaign against the channel, claiming it threatens free speech.
The investigation follows a High Court ruling last month that quashed previous Ofcom decisions against GB News, leading the regulator to drop six other cases involving politicians as presenters.
Ofcom is assessing whether the Headliners episode violated broadcasting rules requiring offensive material to be justified by context.
