The BBC have released an apology for describing Reform UK as “far-right” in an online article published just days after Lee Anderson joined the party. Not the first time they’ve had to apologise for blatant bias…

“In an article about the Liberal Democrats’ spring conference we wrongly described the political party Reform UK as far-right when referring to polling. This sentence was subsequently removed from the article as it fell short of our usual editorial standards. While the original wording was based on news agency copy, we take full responsibility and apologise for the error.”

UPDATE: Richard Tice issues his response:

“The BBC has apologised for the news website referring to Reform UK as ‘Far Right’ following an intervention from my lawyers.

My lawyers are also in touch with other news organisations who repeated the BBC line.

To be clear, I view this as defamatory and libellous“.
