FORMER BBC journalist Jon Sopel has said the BBC “ducked” reporting on the full consequences of Brexit after it was accused of having a bias in favour of the UK staying in the EU. 

In an interview with The Observer, Sopel recalled being on a trip to the UK with Barack Obama, who was flying over to influence the Brexit vote.
