BBC presenter apologises for misquoting Nigel Farage
BBC presenter Matt Chorley has issued an apology for misquoting Nigel Farage during a discussion about the murder of Henry Nowak. Chorley mistakenly referred to Farage's comments as 'white cold rage' instead of 'pure cold rage', which Reform argued altered the meaning of Farage's statement. The BBC has also apologized for the error, and Farage's legal team is demanding a full on-air apology and investigation.
