Ex-GB News Presenter Sues Network Over Dismissal
A former presenter on GB News, Albie Amankona, is suing the network.
He says he was fired after he called the former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, a racist.
Amankona is being backed by the Good Law Project and claims he experienced racial discrimination, unequal pay and unfair dismissal.
GB News denies these claims and is fighting the case.
The network previously apologized to Braverman after Amankona’s comments.
This is not GB News' first legal battle, as the network had previously won a legal case against Ofcom.
Albie Amankona, ex-GB News presenter, is taking the network to court.
Amankona claims he was dismissed for calling the former Home Secretary “a racist and a thoroughly bigoted woman.”
He alleges racial discrimination, belief discrimination, harassment, unequal pay, victimisation and unfair dismissal.
GB News states Amankona's claim is “misconceived” and will be “robustly defended.”
The legal action is supported by the UK’s Good Law Project.
