Calvin Robinson is a far-right commentator and evangelical priest who developed a following largely through his weekly show on GB News, Calvin’s Common Sense Crusade, which often saw him wearing his priest’s cassock on air. Robinson mixes his strict interpretation of Christian morality with an anti-immigrant and conspiratorial outlook that has become increasingly extreme over time, such as repeatedly calling for an end to non-Christian migration to the UK.

In October 2023, he was sacked by GB News after leaping to the defence of his friend Laurence Fox, following the latter’s abusive on-air tirade against the journalist Ava Santina. The loss of this prominent outlet will likely diminish his significance going forward, though he still regularly travels to speak at evangelical conferences around the world.
