Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg criticises Ofcom ruling on politicians being newsreaders
Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has criticised a ruling from the broadcasting regulatory body Ofcom that found two episodes of his show on GB News violated due impartiality rules due to him “acting as a newsreader” while being a serving politician.
The channel was put on notice on Monday, with the media watchdog saying that any repeated breaches of the same rules “may result in the imposition of a statutory sanction”.
This could involve a financial penalty
