Is GB News funding a “political donation”?

Our weekly listener questions episode.


What do parliamentary private secretaries, aka ‘bag carriers’, really do? How will Ben Houchen fair as a mayor in opposition? How much will Labour commit to international development? And should funding for GB News be considered a political donation?

Hannah Barnes, associate editor, is joined by George Eaton, senior editor, and Freddie Hayward, political correspondent, to answer your questions.
