"In the run-up to the launch, through the launch, and in the aftermath of the launch – and I think most of you who know anything about it will know you couldn't file the launch under startling success – more and more differences emerged between myself and the other senior managers and the board of GB News. And, rather than these differences narrowing, they got wider and wider and I felt it was best that, if that's the route they wanted to take, then that's up to them, it's their money."
