Whenever I've seen him on BBC political shows he's tended to peddle misinformation, normally about Brexit, that is easily disproven with a simple Google search. He's certainly got a talent for delivering incorrect statements in an authoritative way.
So find a specific example for this type of claim before making it?
Quote:Things you disagree with or and inconvenient to an argument you agree with are not "misinformation" or "incorrect"He gave misinformation to support his argument, as he has done on previous occasions that I've seen him on the BBC (unfortunately the episodes of Politics Live have expired on iPlayer). That's not me pointing out something inconvenient to anything I agree with, that's him using misinformation to support his own argument.
