A POLITICAL figure is set to be outed as a paedophile on BBC’s Newsnight, it has been alleged.
The report on the man, who is not being named, is currently being looked at by the BBC legal team, who are refusing to comment on the story.
But according to the editor of the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Iain Overton the BBC are hoping to reveal to story this evening.
He wrote on Twitter: “If all goes well we’ve got a Newsnight out tonight about a very senior political figure who is a paedophile.”
The Bureau has been working on the investigation together with the BBC.
Michael Crick, a former Newsnight presenter and now a political correspondent with Channel 4 News, later said: “[A] ‘senior political figure’ due to be accused tonight by BBC of being paedophile denies allegations and tells me he’ll issue a libel writ against the BBC.”

Our copy editor Jason Wilson, who along with myself, was frothing at the mouth thinking about all the possible media properties that Disney could bring to life in cartoons, films, or TV shows or comic book form. Star Wars has hundreds of characters with their own epic tales created by novelists, comic book creators, and video game producers — and all with an official stamp of approval by Lucasfilm.
