Tory minister: Leave voters may feel 'opposite' to Scots in BBC's coverage of Brexit

A UK Government minister has suggested Leave voters may take the "opposite" view to most Scots on the BBC, in response to The National’s exclusive poll showing most Scots felt the broadcaster failed to cover the topic properly.

Julia Lopez, the minister for media, data and digital infrastructure, responded to our survey results published on Sunday, which showed 53% of Scots felt the BBC had not covered the impacts of Brexit on Scotland well.

The poll found that a plurality of people (30%) thought the BBC had done “not very” well at reporting accurately on Brexit’s impact. A further 23% said the broadcaster had “not at all” accurately represented the impacts.
