You hear a lot about “no-go zones” on GB News – on this evidence the channel is a no-go zone for advertisers seeking to reach the coveted 18-34 demographic. But look, let’s open the door to our walk-in bath and let the waters of the contest rise around us.And you have to say that this week the race to be the person regicided by the Tory party in two years’ time has certainly warmed up.
