The High Court says Ofcom's rulings over two shows hosted by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg were unlawful.

In a significant victory for Britain’s newest news network, the High Court has ruled in favor of GB News in its judicial review against U.K. media regulator Ofcom over decisions related to politician-presented programs.

GB News has scored a major victory over Ofcom after a High Court judge ruled the watchdog was wrong to accuse Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg of breaking the broadcasting code on his show.

GB News brought legal action against the regulator at the High Court. Ofcom will have to reconsider its decisions that GB News twice broke impartiality rules during shows hosted by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg when he was an MP, the High Court has ruled.

GB News has won a landmark legal battle with UK media regulator Ofcom over a report by presenter Jacob Rees-Mogg about Donald Trump. In a High Court ruling, a judge found that Ofcom was unlawful in determining that GB News breached broadcasting rules in two separate editions of Mogg’s State Of The Nation show.
