Bow Group Chairman Ben Harris-Quinney has said the BBC is incapable of being politically balanced, and that true debate featuring a range of opinion was more likely to be found elsewhere.

Mr Harris-Quinney said the political direction of the BBC’s new show Context was evident in its choice of guests, including establishment journalists and politicians who he said were the “perfect embodiment of the tired liberal metropolitan establishment that underpins every aspect of what the BBC does”.

The Bow Group chairman told the Express: “I made the point just the other day that for years we we’ve been told that the BBC makes every effort to provide balance, but what the BBC do on programmes like Question Time is have a Conservative MP, a Labour MP, and a Liberal Democrat MP on and argue that represents balance.

“The reality is they are all of the liberal metropolitan world view, with minor differences on the nuances of policy.

“This couldn’t have been better underlined by the BBC’s subsequent announcement of a fresh new political show [Context].”

Harris-Quinney said that debate reflecting a true range of opinion would more likely be found in other media outlets, like GB News and talkRADIO, which “have exposed… that there is an entire parallel universe of commentators, organisations and individuals.

“The BBC have an infinitely greater budget than both of those channels combined to source a greater variety of guests, yet they use the same people with the same views over and over again.”
