BBC presenter apologises for misquoting Nigel Farage 03.06.2026

BBC presenter Matt Chorley has apologized for misquoting Nigel Farage three times during a Newsnight interview, stating Farage called for "white cold rage" in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, instead of the actual quote "pure cold rage." Reform argued this misquotation implied a racial element to Farage's statement, altering its meaning. The BBC issued a direct apology to Farage, removed the episode from iPlayer and Sounds, and will broadcast an apology on Wednesday's Newsnight. Farage's legal team has demanded a full on-air apology and investigation, claiming the error was defamatory. The incident occurred amid public outcry over the police handling of Nowak's December murder, for which Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life.
