Unacceptable behaviour on a regulated UK News channel - @ofcom.bsky.social need to address this and ensure that it does not happen again.
🚨NEW 🚨
On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful.
Join us in writing a complaint to Ofcom to force them to take action 👇
