Ofcom Investigates David Lammy's LBC Show for Broadcasting Rule Breach

The regulator probes over 50 complaints regarding the shadow foreign secretary's role as a news presenter.

Ofcom is investigating David Lammy's LBC radio show for a potential breach of broadcasting rules, following over 50 complaints.
The investigation centers on Lammy's role as a politician acting as a news presenter, specifically during a segment where he announced the resignation of DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson.
Lammy has hosted the Sunday morning show since 2022, and this is not the first time Ofcom has investigated programs hosted by politicians for impartiality breaches.
Ofcom previously found breaches in programs hosted by Tory MPs on GB News, emphasizing the need for due impartiality and the risks of using politicians as news presenters.
In addition to Lammy's case, Ofcom issued a warning to TalkTV for potentially offensive comments made by Julia Hartley-Brewer, but decided not to launch an investigation.
