Digby Jones has "had it up to here" with the BBC



Here's an exchange from this morning's The Week in Westminster, presented by the FT's George Parker and featuring Lord Digby Jones and Roland Rudd.

(N.B. The Leave-backing Digby attacks the BBC, the Remain-backing Roland backs the BBC here.)

Roland Rudd: Definitely! We have to deal in facts...
