British media outlet the Guardian has apologised after a cartoon depicting BBC chairman Richard Sharp was criticised as antisemitic.

The image was published the day after Sharp's resignation for breaching conflict of interest rules.

It depicted Sharp, who is Jewish, with exaggerated features and carrying a puppet of Rishi Sunak.

One Jewish group said it "falls squarely into an antisemitic tradition".
