John McDonnell explores new depths of incompetence

John McDonnell gave an interview to politics.co.uk which was posted on their site this morning.

He was asked about Labour's complaint to the BBC over Stephen Doughty's appearance on the Daily Politics:

"Remember, this is not an attack on the BBC and it's not an attack on Laura Kuenssberg either," he says. "There is a private company that makes the Politics programme which is commissioned by the BBC...The editor of the programme obviously decided to do maximum damage to Jeremy's standing."

Contrary to the comments made above by the shadow chancellor, Politics.co.uk can confirm that the Daily Politics is not produced by a private firm but in-house by the BBC.
