Broadcaster says team flew to Biarritz but were denied access over Dorothy Byrne’s comments
Channel 4 News has said that Downing Street froze it out of a planned interview at the
G7 summit because of criticism of
Boris Johnson by the channel’s head of news, who had described him as a “known liar” and a “coward”.
According to the editor of Channel 4 News, Ben de Pear, a team of journalists had flown to Biarritz after being invited but Downing Street advisers then said Dorothy Byrne’s criticism of the prime minister had resulted in access being denied.
