BBC cancels prime-time interview with Boris Johnson after ‘disappointing’ mistake
The BBC cancelled an interview with ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson after presenter Laura Kuenssberg mistakenly sent him her question notes. The interview, set to discuss Johnson’s upcoming memoir and his time in office, was deemed ‘untenable’. Kuenssberg admitted the error, calling it ’embarrassing and disappointing’. The incident revives scrutiny of the BBC’s accountability standards towards politicians.
