Ofcom has initiated an investigation into David Lammy's LBC radio show, following allegations that the program may have breached broadcasting standards. The investigation focuses on whether Lammy, serving as Labour MP and shadow foreign secretary, violated rules pertaining to politicians acting as news presenters. The regulatory body's decision comes after receiving 51 complaints about an episode aired on 29 March. This inquiry aligns with Ofcom's broader scrutiny of political figures engaging in news broadcasting, highlighted by a recent ruling against Tory MP presenters on GB News.
