A total of 51 complaints were made about the shadow foreign secretary's show on LBC, with the regulator looking into whether it broke rules on politicians acting as news presenters.
A radio show hosted by shadow foreign secretary David Lammy is being investigated by Ofcom after it received more than 50 complaints. The broadcasting watchdog said it was looking into whether the programme that aired on LBC on Good Friday 'broke our rules on politicians acting as news presenters'. The Labour frontbencher has hosted a Sunday morning show on the station since 2022 after a number of appearances covering for other presenters, and regularly stands in on Bank Holidays.
During the broadcast, Mr Lammy broke the news that DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson had resigned as head of the party after he was charged with historical sexual offences - charges he is understood to be 'strenuously contesting'. However, Ofcom has yet to confirm this is the reason for the complaints or investigation.
