The BBC has received over 2000 complaints about a âbias against the Conservativesâ in one of its programmes.
During the BBC News Special: Our New Prime Minister, 2211 people accused the broadcaster of being biassed in its coverage of the Tory partyâs approach to public spending and taxation.
The number of complaints surpassed the previous yearâs total, when 700 people accused the BBC of having a âpro-Tory biasâ on Question Time.
The show, which aired on October 25, provided continuous news coverage and analysis as Rishi Sunak took over as UK Prime Minister.
It comes after a video by Guardian political commentator Owen Jones in which he urged people to issue complaints to the BBC.
Titled âdonât let the BBC get away with itâ the video has more than 200,000 views and adds a link to the complaint page in the YouTube description.
