In a statement from the channel carried by the Mail, a GB News spokesperson said: “At no point did Andrew raise concerns of the editorial direction of GB News moving to the right.
Andrew Neil has said he was “close to a breakdown” during his time at GB News and said his time involved with the channel was the “worst eight months” of his career “by far”.
“As with all companies, decision-making rests with the board, and GB News is no different.
GB News barely had a week and there were so many hitches with the technology,” he said.
