Remarks made by Laurence Fox
Dan Wootton has been suspended from GB News following remarks made by Laurence Fox on the broadcaster’s show about a female journalist which have been described as “unacceptable, unjustifiable and indefensible”.
Speaking on Tuesday during an appearance on Dan Wootton Tonight, actor-turned-politician Fox made a series of remarks about Ava Evans, the political correspondent for online news site Joe, including asking: “Who would want to shag that?”
In a statement, the channel said: “GB News has suspended Dan Wootton following comments made on his programme by Laurence Fox last night.
“This follows our decision earlier today to formally suspend Mr Fox. We are conducting a full investigation.”
Spiked’s Brendan O’Neill tells TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer that althought the comments were unacceptable the fallout has been “spun into hysteria.”
“This is an opportunistic moment for the middle-class mob, the leftish authoritarians, who’ve had GB News in their sights from the very beginning.”
