BBC Defends Mishal Husain After Complaints Over Prime Ministerial Debate

The BBC's Prime Ministerial Debate was moderated by Mishal Husain

The BBC has defended broadcaster Mishal Husain following complaints about how she moderated the recent leadership debate.

Last month, the newsreader and journalist chaired the head-to-head Prime Ministerial Debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer live from Nottingham, which aired on 26 June.

Following this, the BBC apparently received complaints accusing the host of not treating “both candidates equally when managing the debate”.
