Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people unhappy that an on-screen banner used the logo and colours of Reform UK.
Our response
Chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman was reporting live from Downing Street on the main political stories of the day. This was dominated by the upcoming statement from Prime Minister Keir Starmer on the vetting of Peter Mandelson and his appointment as UK ambassador to the US.
Henry was also asked to explain the significance of an announcement by Reform UK on asylum. As he was in Downing Street it was decided to use an on-screen banner to underline what the key points of the proposal were to differentiate this part of the live broadcast from his first answer which was on a different topic.
This sequence preceded an interview with Reform UK鈥檚 Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf in that hour so it helped inform the audience about the issue. During that interview Mr Yusuf was challenged over how the policy would work and some of the criticism that had already been levelled at the policy.
It鈥檚 not new for 麻豆社 News to use the logos of different parties to illustrate their position on certain issues. It's something we do occasionally to help audience understanding and this will continue in the future.
