A COMMUNIST Party candidate for Parliament accused the BBC today of bias against socialists during the election campaign.

Edinburgh North & Leith candidate Richard Shillcock points out that the BBC deleted the Morning Star and its website link from the alphabetical list of national British newspapers on May 11.

“The Morning Star is the only national daily paper supporting socialist and communist candidates in the general election. The BBC clearly has its eye on protecting its government funding, whether it’s Starmer or Sunak in No 10, and is proactively bending the knee,” he charged.
