Party Political Mix-Up

The BBC has apologised to Sadiq Khan after accidentally replacing his mayoral election party political broadcast with one for his Tory rival, Susan Hall. 

The mix-up happened just before 19:00 on Tuesday night, when Mr Khan’s three-minute film should have been shown on BBC1 in London immediately after the end of the BBC London evening news. 

Instead, despite the Labour broadcast being pre-announced, viewers unexpectedly saw the Tory film promoting Ms Hall for mayor. 

A BBC spokesman said: “Following a scheduling mix up, Labour’s party political broadcast will be aired on BBC One London this evening.” 

It is understood that both Mr Khan’s Labour re-election campaign and Ms Hall’s Tory campaign have received written apologies.
