An ex-presenter on GB News who was taken off air after labelling Suella Braverman as a 'racist' is now suing the channel for unfair dismissal.

Albie Amankona, a 31-year-old Conservative activist and broadcaster, has launched a crowdfunding appeal as he says he was racially harassed and victimised.

He previously co-hosted GB News's The Saturday Five debate show - on which he described former Home Secretary Ms Braverman in July last year as 'a racist and a thoroughly bigoted woman'.

GB News apologised at the time to Ms Braverman, describing his remarks as having 'crossed a line between robust debate and causing unnecessary offence' - and said the Fareham and Waterlooville MP was 'understandably upset'.

Mr Amankona, co-founder of the group Conservatives Against Racism for Equality, was taken off air and his departure from GB News was confirmed last August.
