Well known BBC presenter Fiona Bruce has quit her role as ambassador of domestic abuse charity Refuge over claims she trivialised domestic violence. It comes following a discussion on Question Time about 82-year-old Stanley Johnson - ex PM Boris Johnson's father - on Thursday night (March 9).
During the episode last week, British journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown said Stanley Johnson’s alleged history of violence was “on record” and he was a “wife beater”. Interrupting her, Fiona quickly went on to tell the journalist and the audience: “I’m not disputing what you’re saying.
"But just so everyone knows what this is referring to, Stanley Johnson’s wife spoke to a journalist, Tom Bower. And she said that Stanley Johnson had broken her nose and that she’d ended up in hospital as a result.
