GB News show Dan Wootton Tonight has been hit with 61 Ofcom complaints following its May 5 episode, in relation to a discussion about Labour leader Keir Starmer's alleged lockdown rule break.A segment was also aired in which Dan shut down Benjamin Butterworth after he spoke about Keir's role in "beergate".Mr Butterworth said: "It was investigated before and they found he hadn’t done anything.”Dan then replied: “It wasn’t investigated, you’ve just given disinformation already.”Dan asked Benjamin if he thinks that Keir followed the rules, to which Benjamin said "yes, absolutely".The GB presenter then asked Benjamin if he himself had read the rules, which Benjamin then confirmed.Wootton then responded: "You can't say it with a straight face."The conversation came just hours after Sir Keir recently said that he will step down if he is "fined" by Durham police over beergate.The Guardian has reported that the Labour party can prove that Sir Keir's team worked past 1am on the night that the scandal was alleged to have taken place.Keir has insisted that no laws were broken and said that they were "followed at all times".The politician claimed that he "simply had something to eat" whilst he was "working late in the evening," which he said "any politician would do days before an election".However, he then said that if the police were to "issue him with a fixed penalty notice," then he would "of course, do the right thing and step down".Controversial journalist Dan Wootton has recently tweeted about GB News' alleged success as the "UK's number one non-state news channel".He told his followers that it was due to "their loyalty over the past year," which has "allowed them to block out the sneery London elite" so the channel can.
