The Independent Newspaper reports that the right of centre GB News Television Channel was forced to apologise after misogynist and homophobe Laurence Fox made what it said were "unacceptable" comments about a female journalist. Ava Evans is the political correspondent for the website Joe, and had appeared on BBC Television earlier that day where she had been treated with respect. This was too much for Mr Fox, who attacked her repeatedly in sexualised terms. In a statement posted to X, GB News said: “Comments made tonight on GB News by Laurence Fox were totally unacceptable. “What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused. We have launched an investigation and will be apologising to the individual involved.”
