‘America Must Save Britain’

GB News’ new programme broadcast live from Washington DC features climate denial, vaccine misinformation, and non-stop praise for Donald Trump – with the channel’s co-owner telling ‘MAGA’ politicians that the UK needs rescuing. Josiah Mortimer reports

GB News’ new US show is providing a regular platform for the claim that the UK needs to be ‘saved’ by Donald Trump’s America.

The Late Show Live launched on 22 September, broadcasting in the United States as well as on GB News’ UK channel and on YouTube.

Speaking at a party to mark the launch of GB News in the US in September, its co-owner Sir Paul Marshall is reported by Politico to have told the audience of ‘Make America Great Again’ allies and supporters: “We need you to come and save us. To rescue us … You are making America great again… We need to make Britain great again … We need as many as possible of you … to appear on our channel, to tell the story of what you’re doing to turn your country around.”
