However, announced today that he will now only be presenting the show two nights a week – continuing as the show’s host on Monday and Tuesday only.
A GB News spokesperson said: “Author, political commentator and pollster Professor will join GB News as a permanent presenter in 2025, presenting State of the Nation on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night. Jacob Rees Mogg will continue as the show’s host on Monday and Tuesday.”
