New claims of BBC anti-Tory bias as Jack Dee makes c-word jibe against Boris Johnson
Have I Got News For You was accused of broadcasting a torrent of 'spiteful and crass insults' as it dedicated Friday night's episode to Mr Johnson. In one shocking moment, host Jack Dee quoted a newspaper article that referred to the departing Prime Minister as a 'cosmic ****' - a moment greeted by gales of laughter in the studio. Panellists also suggested that Mr Johnson had taken cocaine.
