Read our privacy policy Jon Snow has been branded a “playground bully” by Conservative MP Philip Davies, who claims the veteran Channel 4 presenter “ambushed” him during a tour of the newsroom to discuss Google and the 'right to be forgotten' rule. I said, 'Look, John, you're past it.” It was at this point that Krishnan Guru-Murthy “piped up”, telling Davies: “There's no need for that.” One witness told the Guardian that Guru-Murthy told Davies, that if he was going to get personal, then he had better leave – although the MP and Channel 4 denied this. “Then Jon Snow said to me, 'I hope you get on well with your 400 majority', which was my majority in 2005 so that was proof he was out of date,” Davies recalled. “We were pleased to welcome Philip Davies MP to Channel 4 News,” said a Channel 4 spokesperson.
