Andrew Neil has stepped down as chairman of GB News, it has been confirmed.

The journalist and broadcaster, 72, has been absent from the channel after announcing a break two weeks into its launch.

He will continue to contribute to GB News as a regular guest commentator.

He said: “I am sorry to go but I have concluded it’s time to reduce my commitments on a number of fronts.

“Over the summer I’ve had time to reflect on my extensive portfolio of interests and decided it was time to cut back.”

He added: “I wish GB News well in continuing to fulfil its founding promise and mission to reach audiences currently underserved by existing news broadcasters.”

A statement from GB News said: “Andrew is without doubt one of the finest journalists and interviewers in this country.

Well, we were right about GBeebies, and Andrew Neil was wrong. And he’s gone…..

Andrew Neil used to mock falling readership or viewing figures of others with “get woke, go broke”.

I think “go fash, lose cash” has a ring to it. https://t.co/npjRJmBeqb

It would have been great if the UK actually had appetite for the kind of news channel Andrew Neil loudly and not particularly convincingly pretended he was building.

Now I guess the hope is it also doesn't have any appetite for what he actually and inevitably built instead.

If anyone is wondering how quickly GB News staff will be welcomed back into polite media, Fiona Bruce revealed today Andrew Neil is on Question Time in the next series

I note, with some interest, that Andrew Neil has been RTing some ITN content recently.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
