Post Office scandal: Lib Dems ask Ofcom to investigate GB News over Ed Davey criticism
The Guardian says The Liberal Democrats have called for Ofcom to investigate GB News over alleged impartiality breaches after the channel featured Nigel Farage and Conservative MPs criticising Ed Davey and other opposition politicians about their role in the Post Office IT scandal.
The party has written to the head of the broadcast regulator, Melanie Dawes, to argue GB News’s coverage failed to highlight the role of Conservative politicians in the long-running saga.
The letter from Daisy Cooper, the party’s deputy leader, raised particular concern about a segment on the channel on Tuesday evening in which Farage made a series of allegations connected to Davey, who was the business minister with responsibility for the Post Office from 2010 to 2012.
