No rule to stop Tory MP interviewing minister on GB News, says Ofcom boss

Melanie Dawes says regulator will consider any complaints about Lee Anderson's interview with Suella Braverman

Ofcom's chief executive has said there is nothing under current rules to stop GB News using the Conservative MP Lee Anderson to interview the Tory home secretary, Suella Braverman.

Melanie Dawes said she did not want to pre-judge the interview, which will be broadcast on Friday night, because the media regulator was not a censor". She said Ofcom defended freedom of expression" but would consider any complaints about the programme after it aired.
