Lucy Frazer, the culture secretary, has refused to boycott GB News following Laurence Fox’s “vile” and “misogynistic” comments about a female journalist.
Ms Frazer was questioned on the comments during Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (27 September) and while she described them as “unacceptable”, she stopped short of suggesting MPs should not be appearing on channels that broadcast “that sort of content”.
Scottish National Party leader Stephen Flynn, meanwhile, urged Ofcom to “step up” as he slammed Wootton and Fox over the “vile” discussion, which GMB host Susanna Reid described as “very sexualised”.
In a statement on social media website X on Wednesday morning, GB News confirmed they have “formally suspended” Fox while they investigate his comments.
