Backbench Tories including Liz Truss have claimed a ‘boycott’ of ‘certain TV channels’ represents a threat to freedom of speech.
Senior Conservatives have been accused of being “anti-freedom” after calling for Rishi Sunak to intervene over an advertising “boycott” of some TV channels.
Signatories including former party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, former home secretary Dame Priti Patel and several members of the right-wing Common Sense Group urged the Government to distance itself from Can. “This means that hateful content and disinformation, wherever it is directed, is not commercially attractive for many. Do the MPs not support advertisers’ freedom to choose where they advertise, and ordinary Briton’s right to freedom from harm?”
In June 2022, the channel’s chief executive, Angelos Frangopoulos, said the action was damaging GB News’ business and was “dangerous for public debate and freedom of speech”.
