Sky News Cancels Boris Johnson Interview Over Recording Restriction
Sky News canceled their interview with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson due to recording restrictions on their political editor. This follows the BBC's earlier cancelled interview with Johnson after an accidental disclosure of briefing notes by presenter Laura Kuenssberg. Johnson's upcoming memoir is anticipated to share insights from his political career, and in a recent ITV interview, he expressed regret over apologizing for government lockdown parties.
Sky News has decided to cancel an interview with former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson after being informed that their political editor, Beth Rigby, would not be allowed to make an audio recording or transcript of the discussion.
The interview was set to cover revelations from Johnson's upcoming memoir, 'Unleashed', where he promised to share insights about his tenure as London mayor, foreign secretary, and prime minister.
This decision follows the BBC's earlier cancellation of their interview with Johnson due to an error by presenter Laura Kuenssberg in sending her interview notes to him.
In other developments, Johnson, during a separate ITV News interview, expressed regret for his apologies amid the 'partygate' scandal and commented on political decisions involving the British-Iranian prisoner Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and a blocked £400m deal.
