Five episodes of GB News programmes hosted by serving Tory MPs have been found to have broken broadcasting rules by media regulator Ofcom.

They include two episodes of Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg’s State of the Nation, and three of a show fronted by married MPs Esther McVey and Philip Davies.

Politicians are not normally allowed to host news programmes under Ofcom rules.

They are, however, allowed to present current affair shows – with GB News stating the distinction was “unclear”.
