Nigel Farage has hailed GB News after being the ratings of both Sky and BBC every day this week.

Speaking on his show, Farage declared: "We don't normally boast here at GB news, but do you know what? For once I am going to.

"Because on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday of this week and let's hope Thursday and Friday as well. But on those first three days of this week, on the ratings taken right across the day, we have beaten not only Sky News but the BBC News Channel as well.

"We have been the number one news channel in the UK this week. It's only taken us three years to get here. And you know what? I think it will only continue to grow.

"So well done to those that had the vision for founding GB News, well done for those that run it and work here. I think that is a really big achievement and forgive me, but we are for the moment going to have a little boast."
