The new Conservative Party Deputy Chairman has said it’s time for the BBC licence fee to end as the corporation’s Director-General mooted means tested license fee costs in the future.

Speaking on GB News, Jonathan Gullis said:

“It’s a disgrace and abomination. It's very simple. It's time to bin the licence fee once and for all make the BBC stand its own two feet completely like any other broadcasters, such as the excellent GB News.

“The sooner the licence fee goes, the better for everyone else.”
