GB News host lights up cigarette live on air in bizarre anti-Labour rant

GB News host Mark Dolan lit a cigarette live on air as he took aim at Labour in a bizarre rant.

The former comedian claimed the party wants to ban smoking “just like in New Zealand” and “pledged to take up this filthy habit just to annoy them”.

“I’m one of those people, that if you tell me I can’t do something, that’s exactly the thing I’m going to do,” Dolan said.

“I pledge to take up this filthy habit, just to annoy them. Arrest me, why don’t you,” he added, lighting up a cigarette.
