Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, comment made by Chris Packham, 21 April 2024

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people unhappy Laura didn’t challenge a comment made by panel member Chris Packham regarding the Daily Sceptic.


Our response

During a discussion with the panel about various issues including climate change, broadcaster and conservationist Chris Packham claimed that the Daily Sceptic, whose editor in chief is Toby Young, is β€œbasically put together by a bunch of professionals with close affiliations to the fossil fuel industry.” We acknowledge we would ideally have asked him to present his evidence on this, but in a fast-moving live programme it’s not always possible to pick up on every point made by our guests. We’ve removed any posts on X with this part of the discussion.Β  This edition of the programme available on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer has been edited so that this exchange has been removed.
