Nigel Farage was booed by the established media as he was crowned ‘Presenter of the Year’ at the Tric Awards yesterday.
Appearing on stage, Farage said: “It's like the crowd at a wrestling event, really. I notice much less hostility than we had last year.”
Farage continued: “And just think about it- GB News Breakfast has won, the Camilla Tominey interview with Alastair Stewart has won.
“And I've won for a second year in a row as news presenter of the year, and that says to you that GB News is now here to stay as a mainstream broadcast in this country and thank goodness for that.”
