Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage has launched a scathing attack on Anna Soubry, and questioned why the BBC are giving her “so much airtime”. Speaking on his LBC phone-in show, Mr Farage begged


listeners to explain why he was “underestimating” the importance of Ms Soubry to our national dialogue. He pointed out that the former Tory MP is always featured on the BBC, speaking out


against Brexit. Ms Soubry left the Conservative Party and is now leader of the Independent Group for Change, after a series of party name changes. The party, campaigning at the time as


Change UK, only secured 3.3 percent of the vote in the European election and won no seats. Speaking a People’s Vote rally last week, Ms Soubry said: "There is a profound danger of the


country being seized by a minority who don't share basic British values of decency." Over the weekend, Ms Soubry apologised to the British public after admitting David Cameron and


his Cabinet "arrogantly" agreed to hold the Brexit referendum because they were certain Remain would win. JUST IN: FARAGE SAVAGES TORY REBELS AS 'NO NATION' TORIES FOR


REMAINER VIEWS Mr Farage told listeners: “Why is she all over the BBC constantly? “She defected, helped set up a new party that fared catastrophically in the European elections, and they’ve


had a couple of rebrands since. “She has clearly got a very very insignificant following among the British public. “And yet she is all over the BBC, whether it is talking about Cameron, or


Johnson. Last week, Mr Farage lashed out at BBC presenter Andrew Marr, claiming he was “treated like a war criminal” during his appearance on the show during the EU election campaign. The


Brexit Party leader claimed the BBC have since been “begging him every week on email” to re-appear. Mr Farage told talkRADIO: “I appeared on Andrew Marr in the European elections when we


were heading the polls in the European elections, and I was treated like a war criminal. “It was just extraordinary. You would have thought I was at Nuremberg for something awful I’d done.


“They’re now begging me every week on email to re-appear, so far I keep telling them I’m washing my hair. “I don’t think we need the BBC as much as we used to, I think their behaviour has


been disgusting at every level, they are utterly biased. In response, a spokesman for the BBC told Express.co.uk: "The BBC is an impartial news organisation used by eight out of 10


British adults every week. Mr Farage’s interview with Andrew Marr was fair and robust, as with all politicians who appear on the show."
