GB News is expanding its political coverage and investing in a new Westminster studio.

GB News chief executive Angelos Frangopoulo announced the move in a missive to staff on Thursday in which he also spoke about the immediate impact of the move to a .com website domain and revealed several senior editorial appointments and programme shake-ups.

Frangopoulos told staff: “We’re achieving a great deal, but we can’t afford to rest. As we’ve seen in recent weeks, not everyone wants us to succeed and, as our passionate audience grows, so does the scrutiny on us.
