We demand full inquiry into BBC's relentless negative coverage of Jeremy Corbyn
Ever since Jeremy Corbyn ran for the leadership of the Labour Party the BBC has continued to run a negative campaign against him. The BBC smears Corbyn in a manner than resembles the right wing tabloids. Now top barrister, Jo Maugham QC, has declared he has evidence that proves this is true.
2015 former political editor Nick Robinson confessed in The Times interview that he had written to several BBC colleagues over concerns that the corporation's coverage was bias against Jeremy Corbyn.
2017 BBC Trust concluded that Laura Kuenssberg, in 2015, breached the impartiality and accuracy guidelines by deliberately misrepresenting Jeremy Corbyn.
2018 Jo Maugham QC claims to have letter from senior BBC figure confirming BBC deliberately smears Corbyn.
