Ed Miliband: A ‘Tory showcase’

Ed Milband, the Labour leadership contender, comments on allegations that the BBC is engaging in bias towards the coalition government in the Daily Mail:

“The BBC must remain a fully independent organisation without bias. It is deeply worrying that when he was summoned to Downing Street, the director general of the BBC had a list of programme ideas which appeared to showcase Tory economic policies of savage, indiscriminate cuts.

“David Cameron must stop his bully boy tactics and threats to withdraw the licence fee now, before they undermine the status of the BBC as a valued and trusted institution.”
