Farage says Trump 'very, very unhappy' with BBC - and he could not quote president before watershed
Nigel Farage has said he could not quote Donald Trump's feelings on the BBC before the watershed following a phone call with him.
The Reform UK leader revealed he had a phone call with the US president on Friday in which Mr Trump said "is this how you treat your best ally?" Politics latest: Farage says ministers 'only listen to big business' BBC director general Tim Davie and the chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, announced they had resigned on Sunday evening over questions about bias after a BBC Panorama special spliced Mr Trump's 6 January 2021 speech so it appeared he had encouraged supporters to storm Capitol Hill. In a post on his Truth Social social media platform after their resignations, Mr Trump accused Mr Davie and the "top people in the BBC" of being "very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a presidential election".
Mr Farage told Sky News people should "put yourself in Trump's shoes" as he questioned how they would feel if they were the person making sure the UK had security guarantees, and you had been "stitched up on the eve of a national election". "What the BBC did was election interference," Mr Farage said "If you put yourself into Trump's shoes, he made his feelings to me in no uncertain terms - in no unquotable terms." He said he could not reveal what words Mr Trump used "before the watershed.
