Jacob Rees-Mogg is the latest GB News presenter to be impacted by changes at the station. In an announcement made by the news channel, it seems that the host has had his hours cut.
The former Tory cabinet minister usually hosts the State of the Nation programme four nights a week - Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
However, GB News 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 Matthew Goodwin 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."
Rees-Mogg joined the news channel in January 2023. According to The London Economic, in September 2024, it was reported that the TV presenter might lose his role with the channel, as its pre-tax losses reached £42.4m for the year to the end of May 2023 - up from £30.7m a year earlier.
The politician is the latest in a long list of presenters who have been impacted by changes on GB News. Earlier today they announced that Isabel Webster will no longer host the Breakfast show alongside Eamonn Holmes.
Instead, Ellie Costello, 31, has been promoted to hosting the programme five days a week. Elsewhere, the channel has also seen Mark Dolan "relieved from his duties".
The Friday Night Live presenter tweeted on Wednesday evening: "STATEMENT. GB News have made the decision to permanently relieve me of my duties at the channel. I will speak publicly about this in due course."

Despite the cuts, Ben Briscoe, Head Of Programming and Talent on GB News, said: "2024 has been a truly fantastic year for us.
"Not only are we regularly beating the other established news channels, but we are also making inroads against the big public serving broadcaster terrestrial channels."
He added: "Our initiatives will allow us to build on this success with a renewed focus and ambition."
