Nigel Farage’s BBC Panorama grill canceled at last minute due to ‘confusion’

British reform leader Nigel Farage’s BBC interview has been delayed after a mix-up in his schedule.

The BBC Panorama special with former UKIP leader and broadcaster Nick Robinson was originally scheduled for tonight at 10.40pm. But the confrontation will now be postponed to a later date.

Mr Farage is now campaigning instead in northern seats. A source close to the British reform leader told the Mirror: “The first Nigel’s team heard about it was when (the date) was leaked to the press by the BBC.” Last week, Mr Farage announced he would stand as a candidate for Reform UK and subsequently launched his campaign in Clacton – despite having stood unsuccessfully for Parliament seven times.

Rishi Sunak appeared on BBC Panorama last night and faced tough questions over ‘walking away from D-Day’. In a heated exchange with the BBC’s Nick Robinson, the Prime Minister apologized for not attending a commemoration at Omaha Beach in Normandy on Thursday.

Instead, Foreign Secretary David Cameron was pictured alongside US President Joe Biden, France’s Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The Prime Minister was told that many Britons believe it is the Prime Minister’s “fundamental duty” to attend. Mr Robinson showed the photo to Mr Sunak and asked: “How do you feel when you look at this photo from D-Day at Omaha Beach?”

The Prime Minister replied: “Well, the last thing I wanted to do was hurt, offend or upset anyone, which is why I apologized unreservedly for the mistake I made. committed and I can only ask that I hope people can find it within their hearts to forgive me. He then urged people to “look at my actions as Prime Minister to increase investment in our. armed forces, to support our armed forces”.

Mr Robinson pressed again, telling Mr Sunak: “Do you understand that for a lot of people watching, I think, they just think that the prime minister’s fundamental duty, the duty, was for you to be in that photo and not David Cameron?” The Prime Minister, looking awkward, replied: “Well, that’s why I apologized unreservedly for this mistake and I hope people will find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
