Outspoken Tory co-chair Lee Anderson would have to stay ‘impartial’ while presenting his new TV show ahead of the local elections, Ofcom has warned.
Locals in Mr Anderson’s Ashfield constituency wrote to the broadcast regulator, complaining the MP’s hour-long Friday night show would give the Tories an unfair advantage in the May elections.
Ofcom confirmed no rules would be broken simply by Mr Anderson having a TV show, but that he would have to promote all sides of political arguments during the ‘regulated period’ before the poll.
