In October, I appeared on GB News to talk about Railcard fare prosecutions, they agreed to pay me £40.

As someone who didn't sign the gag clause they try to get their on air contributors to sign, I can say that.

I pity anyone who has signed away their right to criticise GB News or people who work there.

I have doubled the fee and donated £80 to Stonewall.

I am also still free to say that GB News is shit.

The home of the 'Free Speech Nation' doesn't want anyone who goes on it to ever criticise the channel or any of its contributors, shows, or employees, which include some sitting Reform UK MPs, and threatens to withhold payment if you do not sign this.

This is a mark of their poor quality.

They chat absolute rubbish about tax if you question this, despite it not being true at all.

Their Director of Business Operations has confirmed they will not have me on again since I refused to sign their gag clause.

I was happy with neither the original nor 'new' version of the gag clause that they came up with after I said I wouldn't be happy https://bsky.app/profile/jackfifield.uk/post/3lfpa6fjoy223

Ha ha ha, I once delivered to the building they're in in Paddington. There were two filthy and disused gbeebies cargo bikes in the car park in a corner.
