BREAKING: Danny Tommo pleads guilty after slashing migrant boat in English Channel
Next story: British citizen among six killed in Kraków, GB News reports
A studio announcement and a courtroom sketch were enough for GBNews' most-watched new upload: a brief report that Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, had pleaded guilty to criminal damage at Portsmouth Crown Court.
The presenter reports that Thomas slashed a migrant boat with a knife in the English Channel. Posted on Thursday, the update reached about 91,000 views and also has the strongest daily viewing momentum among the channel's highlighted uploads.
Legal stories ran through a schedule of more than a hundred uploads. Former BBC World Service news editor Martin Plaut argued that the BBC should continue fighting Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit, while saying the Panorama edit at its centre was wrong. That discussion drew almost as many views as the guilty-plea report. Elsewhere, Maggie Oliver explained to Nigel Farage why she was taking the Government to court over its failure to implement recommendations concerning grooming gangs.
The channel added roughly nine million views across the week, while its subscriber count remained unchanged. Daily viewing is a little below its usual pace. Nearby broadcasters offer a mixed picture: ITV News is drawing more daily views than usual, while CBS Evening News is quieter.
Beyond the court coverage, Emily Carver's response to a Greggs shoplifting case is another of GBNews' busiest uploads right now, focusing on the security measures shops use to prevent theft.
Daniel Thomas, publicly known as Danny Tommo, is a British far-right activist and founder of the anti-immigration group Patriot Platform.
