Nigel Farage has accused the BBC of left-wing bias because the organisation's interim director of nations previously worked for Plaid Cymru.

In a video message posted on X, Mr Farage said: "Rhuanedd Richards was the chief executive of Plaid.

"She worked, during the Labour-Plaid coalition, for the government of Wales.

"She's now a director of BBC Wales, on just over ?190,000 a year.

"There is living proof that, right the way through to the top, the BBC is infected with left-wing bias."

A BBC spokesperson said: "Rhuanedd Richards has worked for the BBC since 2018 and has been director of BBC Wales since 2021. She is currently interim director for the nations.

"Rhuanedd has always been open about her career history and is wholly committed to upholding the impartiality of the BBC."
