The BBC is at the centre of a new impartiality row after Newsnight aired a video detailing Partygate allegations.
Friday’s flagship political programme started with a video containing clips of breaking news stories spliced with angry quotes from opposition politicians and repeated calls for Boris Johnson to resign as Prime Minister.
It was accompanied by a soundtrack akin to a horror film trailer.
The clip lasted one minute and 54 seconds, but no more than 20 seconds were afforded to the Government and Prime Minister’s position.
Last night, Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who has called for Mr Johnson to step down, said: 'The BBC’s ingrained anti-Conservative bias is clear for all to see.
'This is a matter for the Conservative party to deal with internally… it’s clear that the BBC is riding its hobby horse.’
