Have I Got News for You, BBC One, 13 October 2023

Complaint

A viewer complained of bias arising from disproportionate time being devoted to mockery of the Labour Party.  The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the BBC’s editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The programme was broadcast in the week of the Labour Party Conference, and the attention given to Labour was proportionate to its prominence in the news.
