IKEA, Nivea, Kopparberg, Grolsch, the Open University, Octopus Energy, Ovo Energy and insurer LV have pulled their adverts from Andrew Neil's new channel. Last night anti-GB News protesters hailed 'good news' after Vodafone's official account tweeted that 'advertising [with GB News] has been placed without our permission', adding the business would be 'addressing this'. But a company source has told Guido Fawkes * that they have 'no intention of boycotting' and the social media person had made a decision 'way above their station', pointing out that GB News is regulated by broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. Last night Andrew Neil was involved in a Twitter row with Octopus Energy's boss Greg Jackson. In an extraordinary exchange Mr Neil threatened to cancel his company if they wanted to advertise with them again. Mr Neil told him: 'Have a look at our content. You'll find no hate. Let me know if you want to advertise. And I'll let you know if we want your ads. Or whether we organise a boycott of you'.

Spec Savers is the latest to pull its advertising: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/14...ew-Neil-update
I think I'll use an independent or Vision Express next time I have an eye test and new specs.

I'll bet the Co-op's stance gains them more business than caving into the minority pressure groups of this kind.
