The London Evening Standard tells us that former Sky News hack John McAndrew is leading the hunt for on-screen talent to join Andrew Neil at GB News - it claims he's interested in Rachel Johnson, Nick Ferrari and Julia Hartley-Brewer.
John, 51 (Backwell Comprehensive, Somerset and Liverpool John Moores University) was born in Bristol and thus is naturally a Manchester United fan. Until August, he was part of the team trying to start a NBC/Sky News global service, now cancelled. At Sky, he launched The Pledge, featuring Nick Ferrari and Rachel Johnson. For ITV News, he had less success with After The News, hosted by Nick Ferrari and Emma Barnett for just 19 nights in 2017. It peaked at 730k viewers.
If John can prise Julia H-B away from Talk Radio, it might create a permanent vacancy for his wife, Daisy, a regular dep for Julia.
