GB News removed from Senedd's televisions
The Gb News television channel has been removed from the internal TV system in the Welsh Parliament.
A spokesperson for Presiding Officer Elin Jones said the decision was taken following a recent broadcast which was " deliberately offensive".
They said Senedd members and staff could watch Gb News online. Plaid Cymru backed the decision but Tory Senedd Group Leader Andrew RT Davies called it and " censorship".
The spokesperson was referring to comments by Laurence Fox about female Journalist Ava Evans, in which he asked what " self-respecting man" would " climb into bed" with Ava Evans.
Mr Fox was later by Gb News after an outcry about comments he made on air about a female Journalist .
, formerly Twitter, before quoting what Mr Fox said, Ms Jones asked: " Do you seriously support A Channel that allows A Woman to be talked about unchallenged as below to continue to be broadcast on our Senedd internal system? "
Laurence Fox made the comments while appearing as a contributor on Dan Wootton 's show.
Mr Wootton remains suspended and apologised " unreservedly" for " a very unfortunate lapse in judgement on my part under the intense pressure of a bizarre exchange".
'Demeaning'Earlier on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Ms Jones, said: " Gb News has been removed from the Senedd's internal television system following a recent broadcast that was deliberately offensive, demeaning to public debate and contrary to our parliament's values.
" There are now several ongoing Ofcom investigations into the channel.
" The Commission will discuss the issue at a future meeting, and staff and members who wish to view Gb News will still be able to do so online in the Senedd. "
The Commission is the cross-party body in charge of the day-to-day running of the Welsh Parliament.
Plaid Cymru spokesperson for broadcasting Heledd Fychan said her party fully supports the decision.
" There is No Place in the Senedd for a platform that includes content that normalises treating women as objects, " She Said .
The broadcasting watchdog Ofcom now has More Than ten current investigations into Gb News .
