GB News suspends third presenter for supporting Dan Wootton in Laurence Fox row
GB News presenter Reverend Calvin Robinson has revealed that he has been suspending from the channel after standing against Dan Wootton's suspension following the Laurence Fox row.
In a post shared on X, formally known as Twitter, Calvin wrote: "I have been suspended from GB News." It comes hours after he announced on social media that he would not be appearing on Dan Wootton Tonight on Friday following the host's suspension.
He said: "I will not be appearing on Dan Wootton Tonight without Dan Wootton. Dan Wootton had a significant part to play in building GB News. He invited me along pre-launch, he also brought so many people onboard. Behind the cameras as well as on-screen talent. Including the careerist ambitious ones who are currently gunning for his job.
"These people are worse than the woke mob, because these vultures are giving the mob ammunition and essentially escalating the channel’s demise. We failed as a community to stand up for Mark Steyn. If we let them do the same to Dan, it’s over. The channel will be on borrowed time, we will all be the next in the firing line."
Calvin Robinson claimed he's been suspended from GB News"I get that people have to pay the bills. But GB News is more than a job - it’s certainly more than a chance to be on the telly - it is a mission. An opportunity to shift the dial in public discourse. To have the conversations the shills on other channels cannot or will not have," he continued.

The broadcaster claimed GB News are "afraid of Ofcom" before calling on his co-stars to give the channel "courage". "Someone else might get the prime time slot for a bit, but it will not be a promotion if you jump in Dan’s grave. You’ll just be making space alongside his corpse for your own," he added.
"Standing up for Dan is standing up for the very idea of GB News. If he falls, we all fall. We are about to see if people really care about the project, or they just want a better slot, with a bigger team and better pay."
GB News previously confirmed Dan's suspension from the channel with a statement shared on X. It read: "GB News has suspended Dan Wootton following comments made on his programme by Laurence Fox last night.
"This follows our decision earlier today to formally suspend Mr Fox. We are conducting a full investigation."
Laurence branded journalist Ava Evans a "little woman" during a vile rant on Dan Wootton Tonight. Host Dan later apologised for not "intervening sooner" while Laurence initially double-downed on his comments before subsequently releasing an apology video.
