Recent revelations about Paul Marshall, the owner of GB News, and the network's content have sparked widespread controversy and criticism. Owen Jones, writing for The Guardian, highlighted the brutal truth about political power in Britain, criticizing the media, including the BBC & 'serious' commentariat, and political response to events in Gaza and the poisoning of democracy in the UK.

The controversy also involves allegations of parliamentary extortion involving Starmer and the Speaker, purportedly for the benefit of Israel.
