Alastair Campbell's former aide Tim Allan has launched a blistering attack on the BBC over its reporting of Downing Street's role in preparing a dossier about Iraq's weapons capability, accusing the corporation of having the same journalistic standards as "salacious websites".

Mr Allan, who joined the PR staff of the Rupert Murdoch-controlled BSkyB after his stint with Labour and now runs his own PR company, was Mr Campbell's deputy in the early days of New Labour.

"The effect is that the BBC's reputation for accuracy in my view is seriously undermined. They are saying that the BBC will report allegations made by anonymous sources without any evidence to back them up and without, crucially, even putting the allegations to the person accused," he added.
Much to the chagrin of his interviewer, Mr Allan insisted: "The BBC is quite happy to publish things that they have no idea if it's true or not."
