And The Times and The Sun aren't even British. They're owned by News Corp which is American

And The Telegraph is about to become German

GB News has emerged out of the Reform movement, which in turn is the child of UKIP. And there are good grounds to think UKIP was bankrolled in part by Russia. It's covered in part by Carol Cadwallader in the excellent "Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring". Alexander Udod (A Russian diplomat) seemed to be the handler for senior UKIP figures.

Why Russian? They're broke. Why not Chinese?
