Portillo: ΒιΆΉΙη has been "frightened of its own shadowβ
The ΒιΆΉΙη must be "much less apologetic than it has in the past" says Michael Portillo.
The former defence secretary was speaking to Andrew Neil on This Week after the chancellor's complaints about ΒιΆΉΙη coverage of his Autumn Statement.
Mr Portillo said the ΒιΆΉΙη had an "extraordinary number of very similar people who come from metropolitan life, who are middle class, who are left-of-centre".
But he said the ΒιΆΉΙη has allowed itself to be bullied and should stand up for itself, as it has been βso very, very timid and frightened of its own shadowβ.
