Labour politician David Lammy has been presenting breaking news on LBC, sparking questions about Ofcom's consistency in rulings. Concerns arise over differing treatment compared to Jacob Rees-Mogg on GB News, with accusations of anti-GB News bias by the broadcasting regulator.
On LBC now to talk to David Lammy
I am talking to David Lammy just after 12 on LBC about the broader issues about flags, national identity and patriotism in Britain today. https://t.co/EuZI4vGC8M My thread on flags, identity, ethnic diversity and politics yesterday https://t.co/TXJwYAY4wV https://t.co/VU33zTFRu8
The anti-GB News bias by the broadcasting regulator is off the scale. Apparently, it's fine when it's a Labour Party politician on LBC! https://t.co/k8KZekaTW3
This is interesting. @ofcom can you explain why you have one rule for Jacob Rees-Mogg on GBNews, and another rule for David Lammy on LBC? Some consistency would be great. https://t.co/ojTiHRCgYX
Labour politician David Lammy breaking news on LBC. Dear @Ofcom, I assume you’ll be sanctioning them for this, as you did GB News, thus proving your impartiality? I’ll not hold my breath. https://t.co/hdiT0bxdzN
Hello @Ofcom, this is the Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy presenting breaking news on LBC, the exact thing that Ofcom ruled against Jacob Rees Mogg over. Can we expect @LBC to get a rap on the knuckles likewise? https://t.co/KNGFjDQWTP
