Matthew Torbitt, a political commentator and GB News pundit, has been charged with two counts of fraud relating to his time working as a Labour adviser.
The Crown Prosecution Service alleges that Torbitt made false travel and accommodation claims while working with MPs between 2018 and 2024. The Guardian reported that the allegations include use of the parliamentary travel system to obtain rail tickets and the submission of false expenses claims.
The Metropolitan Police investigation began after a report of unauthorised travel bookings in April 2025. Torbitt is due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court on 27 July.
