Lisa Nandy gives Labour's backing to BBC bosses despite allegations in Trump row

Lisa Nandy today gave Labour's backing to BBC bosses despite saying there were 'very serious allegations' about the broadcaster's reporting. The Culture Secretary said she had 'confidence' in BBC director general Tim Davie and BBC chairman Samir Shah as she was quizzed over an ongoing row. Ms Nandy spoke ahead of an expected apology by the BBC for the way in which a speech by US President Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama.
