Swedish furniture giant IKEA and brewer Grolsch are among brands that have either pulled or paused advertising on the channel, which they say does not align with their values.

The channel has styled itself as a pro-British alternative to broadcasters, such as the BBC, that its backers views as elite and excessively liberal.
