Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has branded BBC’s Question Time a “discredited programme” as he tears into the broadcaster’s “absolute set up job” on Zia Yusuf.

Delivering a defiant message in defence of Mr Yusuf, Mr Farage said: “The BBC sunk to new depths last night on their Question Time show, their flagship politics show for over four decades, where they had two audience members who had illegally come into Britain by boat.

“Both of those individuals should not even be in the United Kingdom, they’ve broken in illegally. They should have been deported.

“They’ve been given a platform on the BBC in an effort to get the great British public to sympathise with them, and frankly, with an earpiece and a phone.

“The whole thing was a complete, absolute set up job, and we’re seeing this now more and more and more total absolute bias and prejudice from the BBC. And frankly, Question Time had been, over the years, a great programme. After last night, it is utterly discredited.”
