GB News Faces Talent Shake-Up With Staff Departures

GB News has undergone significant personnel changes, with presenters Isabel Webster and Mark Dolan being let go amid criticisms of being 'too woke' and poor viewing figures, respectively. Webster, who co-hosted the breakfast show, left the channel after three years, while Dolan announced his departure on social media without revealing specific reasons. Dolan's abrupt exit has raised speculation about internal turmoil at the network, especially following a series of firings and suspensions. Additionally, former MP Jacob Rees-Mogg has seen his presenting schedule reduced due to financial constraints, as GB News reported a pre-tax loss of £42.4 million in 2023. Insiders have indicated that the changes could be unsettling for remaining staff, who have already faced previous cuts. The shake-up reflects ongoing challenges for GB News as it navigates its identity and audience engagement in a competitive media landscape.
