Conservative MPs should boycott Channel 4 News because of the allegedly anti-Tory bias of its presenter Jon Snow, a former minister has said.

David Jones, who until the election was a Brexit minister, said he could see “no reason for any Conservative MP to have any professional dealings with him”.

Tory MPs are incensed after Mr Snow, 69, was accused of joining in a chant of “f--- the Tories” whilst he was at the Glastonbury music festival.

Mr Snow allegedly said “I’m supposed to be neutral” after making the remarks. He later said he had no recollection of the chant.
