Someone at GB News hasn’t got the beancounters’ memo about cost-savings, as two new coffee machines, retailing at an astonishing £32,000 for the pair, have appeared in the studio: one in the Green Room for guests and another for the channel’s ever-dwindling staff.
The Rex Royal S500 machines – known as the Rolls Royce of bean-to-cup coffee machines – arrive just as the channel makes a third of its workforce redundant and continues to slash freelance budgets in the face of cumulative £131 million losses since launch.
“We’re all getting fired is the bad news,” one disgruntled staffer told Rats. “The good news is you can get a truly fantastic flat white on your way out.”
