Andrew Neil has resigned as chairman and lead presenter of GB News, just three months after helping to launch the channel.

"It's official: I have resigned as Chairman and Lead Presenter of GB News," he posted on Twitter on Monday.

Neil, 72, was on air for less than two weeks before announcing he was taking a break.

The former BBC political presenter will continue to contribute to GB News as a regular guest commentator.

In a statement, he said: "I am sorry to go but I have concluded it's time to reduce my commitments on a number of fronts.

"Over the summer I've had time to reflect on my extensive portfolio of interests and decided it was time to cut back."

He added: "I wish GB News well in continuing to fulfil its founding promise and mission to reach audiences currently underserved by existing news broadcasters."

A statement from GB News said: "Andrew is without doubt one of the finest journalists and interviewers in this country.

"GB News thanks him for his 12 months of leadership, wisdom and advice, and we wish him well."

I've spoken about trans threads before, and I generally avoid them because I haven't worked out exactly what my own positions are yet, which I'm sure you'll agree is the pretty sensible thing to do as a general rule of thumb.


Mmm still the bigot comment is there for you to call out as that is your bag

Guest shmuest, he's gone as an official part of the channel and now it's openly the Farage/EDL channel. There will be literally one type of viewer.

this guest thing is just a way of calming the 3 viewers that lookforward to seeing andrew on gb news. He will disappear from that too after a month or too, it's a standard ploy
