Published: 11/9/2025

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy addressed the allegations of "systemic bias" within the BBC, stating that the leadership is taking them seriously. The issue arose after a leaked internal memo suggested a Panorama documentary misrepresented a speech by former President Donald Trump. Nandy expressed concerns over inconsistent reporting standards and the blurred lines between news and opinion at the BBC, calling for action from the director general and chair.
