There was no special treatment for Chairman Neil last night on GB News. His flagship 8pm show featured late mics, no mics, flickering graphics and many frowns. The production standards, by comparison, made Spectator TV look like Strictly Come Dancing. The only external guest was Steve Baker MP; the hour, like many on the new channel, was filled with Neil talking to GB News staffers, padded with monologues.
In one, Mr Neil complained that the BBC was trying to block GB News from using clips from shared access events. There's little evidence that, even if it got its hands on that material, the channel could actually play clips out on cue at the moment.
The programme came briefly to life when Andrew chatted to Dan Wootton, about the content of his subsequent show - and swiftly schooled him for loose language on the status of the link between Covid infections and Covid vaccinations. Dan looked, more than ever, stunned.
