Veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby made a rare outspoken remark while on air as he discussed the UK’s economic turmoil of recent days with the BBC. The former Question Time host said the “massive change” announced by the Government at a time when members of the public were being forced to make tough decisions was “a complete s***storm” for some people.
It comes less than a fortnight after Dimbleby came out of retirement to front the BBC’s coverage of the Queen’s committal at Windsor Castle. During Thursday’s episode of the broadcaster’s Newscast podcast, host Adam Fleming told him: “I should make clear, you don’t work for the BBC, you can speak really freely.”
“I do think it is extraordinary. I thought that the victory was interesting, Liz Truss becoming Prime Minister,” Dimbleby responded. “We knew her quite well on Question Time over the years and it was quite an eye opener when she became Prime Minister.
