GB News launched in 2021 and built its identity around live debate, breaking news and presenters who aren't afraid to say what they think. That makes its roster of GB News speakers a strong source for event organisers: people who talk to camera for a living, hold their own in unscripted conversation, and have a genuine read on the political and cultural mood that most speakers simply don't.
PepTalk represents several presenters, co-hosts and regular contributors from GB News, spanning news anchors, current affairs co-hosts, comedians and columnists. Here's who's on the roster and what each of them brings to an event.
