GB News: Ofcom Launches Formal Investigation Following 7300 Complaints | Good Morning Britain

Ofcom has launched a formal investigation into GB News after the regulator received thousands of complaints about Laurence Fox's comments on Dan Wootton's show on Tuesday. The announcement came after Dan Wootton's contract as a columnist for MailOnline was terminated, according to a spokesperson for the news website's parent company. In a statement, Ofcom said: "We have launched an investigation into GB News under our rules on offence, after receiving around 7,300 complaints about Tuesday's episode of Tonight with Dan Wootton." Wootton was suspended by GB News on Wednesday, after a row over comments made by actor-turned-political-activist Fox, who had been a fellow presenter for the channel.

It comes as a Conservative MP Caroline Noakes said GB News should be taken off air.
