GB NEWS APPOINTS NEW POLITICAL EDITOR

Christopher Hope, is joining GB News as Head of Politics and Political Editor. Hope joins from The Daily Telegraph and currently hosts a weekly podcast interview series, Chopper’s Politics.

Christopher said: "For me, the most exciting thing about joining GB News is the opportunity to bring politics to audiences who feel they’ve been poorly served by media in the past...

"The next general election will be decided in the Red Wall, in the exact areas of the north where GB News has won some of the strongest audiences in news broadcasting. It’s a vital constituency offering a compelling motive to cover politics differently.”

Editorial Director Michael Booker said: “We’re investing heavily in political journalism and our political team is becoming a real force to be reckoned with. Christopher’s arrival later this year is a coup – watch out, Westminster.”

GB News is available on Sky channel 512.
