THE BBC has been heavily criticised for its coverage of the third Brexit anniversary after broadcasting an “insulting” interview with two pro-Leave politicians and organising a special debate on the issue with no voice from Remain-voting Scotland.
The interview on Tuesday’s Today programme - presented by Justin Webb - involved Tory peer Daniel Hannan and Tory MP Theresa Villiers discussing the impact Brexit has had on the economy after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the UK will perform worse than other advanced economies, including Russia, in 2023.
The segment was widely slated with many deeming it “incredible” there was no Remainer involved as both Villiers and Hannan were given several minutes to argue that Brexit had not damaged the economy with no voice from the other side challenging them.
