Ofcom rules haven’t been relaxed, they just haven’t been in forced, big difference.
If they wanted, they could have shut down GB news on day one. Not only are they guilty of violating various broadcast rules they’re also breaking parliamentary rules. But Labour are weak and scared of them and so won’t act.

GB News is basically an exercise in seeing what you can get away with. And the answer seems to be pretty much anything. Ofcom is a toothless joke.

It’s not toothlessness it’s corruption.
If somebody on the left does something that someone on the right doesn’t like they write one letter and ofcom launcher full on investigation. Reverse the situation and suddenly there is no public interest.
The personal financial files of ofcom leadership should be a matter of public scrutiny, because they 100% taking backhanders.
