File an Ofcom Complaint Against GB News.

GB News titled an asylum seeker an ‘Illegal migrant’ while the broadcaster’s own description of the same upload called him ‘an asylum seeker attempting to leave the UK voluntarily’. On air the presenter framed the contributor’s disclosed clinical mental health condition as an ‘accusation’ and questioned his stated faith.

About this campaign

The single sentence: A GB News segment titled the interviewee an ‘Illegal migrant’ while the broadcaster’s own description of the same upload called him ‘an asylum seeker attempting to leave the UK voluntarily’. The complaint sits on that contradiction.

The segment. Published on GB News’s official YouTube channel on 21 May 2026 under the title ‘SHOCKING: Illegal migrant BLOCKED from self deporting you couldn’t write it!’. The presenter named in the broadcaster’s own description is Ben Leo. Watch the broadcast on GB News’s YouTube channel.

The facts the broadcaster had. The interviewee is a failed asylum seeker who entered the UK through the legal process, was housed in Home Office accommodation, had his claim refused, and has tried twice to leave the UK voluntarily. The Home Office has determined he is currently unfit to fly on safeguarding grounds tied to a disclosed clinical mental health condition. On its own description of the same upload the broadcaster calls him ‘an asylum seeker attempting to leave the UK voluntarily’. On its own title it calls him an ‘Illegal migrant’.
