"Farage said at a Reform press conference on Monday, "I well remember the Wilson report two decades ago saying the BBC were not covering areas like Europe and immigration with any sense of impartiality. And you could add on to that net zero, climate change, their interpretation of the horrors that have happened in Gaza and now of course the US president.""
"He said, "If I was the US President, if I was the person making sure that the UK had security guarantees that meant that it could be defended, whereas on its own it would be helpless, and I'd been stitched up on the eve of a national election. "I mean people talk about election interference, what the BBC did was election interference.""
The BBC is accused of institutional bias across multiple issues including Europe, immigration, net zero, climate change, Gaza and coverage of the US president. Editing of the US president's Panorama speech is presented as provoking anger from the US president, who reportedly asked, "Is this how you treat your best ally?" The BBC's actions are characterised as election interference, with warnings that millions could refuse the licence fee. Calls are made for external leadership and organisational overhaul, for a slimmed-down BBC, and for entertainment and sport to move to subscription competition as the licence fee is deemed unsustainable.
