Ashfield MP Lee Anderson has been criticised after he accused the BBC and the Labour Party of a “witch hunt” of the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. After being told by a BBC journalist that Boris Johnson “is a man who’s lied to the Queen, lied to the public and lied to the House of Commons”, Lee Anderson took to defend the Prime Minister in an interview.
In the interview, Mr Anderson replied: “What people are seeing is a witch hunt led by the BBC, led by the Labour Party.” He continued and said that the BBC have “had it in for Boris from day one".
He said: "People are complaining about the BBC all the time, saying it should be defunded, there’s a massive witch hunt by you and the Labour Party and the mainstream media. Even now, you’re not gonna let this drop are you? You’re going to go on and on and on.”
