...former MP Bill Rammell said the remarks were a "clear breach" of the Ofcom regulations...

Rammell also noted that he "welcomed" Guru-Murthy and the BBC's apology, as well as their efforts to "rectify the situation".

Michelle Dewberry and Bill Rammell were also joined on the panel by [PopCon's] Annunziata Rees-Mogg, who agreed that the BBC were in "clear breach" of impartiality guidelines... was "glad" that they issued an apology in light of the backlash... Rees-Mogg told GB News: "It was clearly a breach, and I'm glad she's apologised. She shouldn't have thought it and said it... He [Nigel Farage] did make it exceptionally clear that he was quoting Donald Tusk, who is so far from being a Brexiteer Little Englander as you could possibly get, and I think he was demonstrating how broad the fears on this subject are, not quoting himself..."
