Cleese has sadly become something a caricature of his former self, so this doesn't surprise me especially. And I'm sure the money is useful too...
That said, GB News is almost certainly still hemorrhaging cash, a bit like their rival TalkTV (home of Piers Morgan in the UK). UK broadcasting rules mean they can't just set-up shop as a UK version of Fox News or similar. They do tread a fine line though.
