The BBC is not institutionally biased, the author of a leaked memo on impartiality at the corporation has said.

Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the BBC’s editorial standards committee, faced questions from MPs on Monday after he raised concerns that a Panorama episode included selective editing of a speech made by US President Donald Trump before disorder at the US Capitol in 2021.
