> Sources said that Robbie Gibb, Theresa May’s former communications chief who was appointed to the BBC’s board during Boris Johnson’s administration, amplified the criticisms in key board meetings that preceded the shock resignation of the director general, Tim Davie, and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness.

> While BBC insiders accept the Prescott letter contains some failings, there is also concern that it has formed part of a political attack on the corporation from within.
> Concerns centre on the relationship between Prescott and Gibb. Sources said Gibb, who has previously been accused of interfering in editorial matters, had “led the charge” at two BBC board meetings that discussed Prescott’s memo. The most recent was last Thursday.
All seems a bit rotten to be honest. The Tories packed the BBC with political hires who wanted the BBC at best to be a Tory mouthpiece, and at worst to just be dismantled. And now it seems like those same political hires are driving these criticisms of the BBC.
It also kinda highlights why Labour should have been busy sweeping away these political hires the moment they were elected, instead of just letting this issue fester. Our government have been far too lazy over this shit.
I haven’t watched it. How bad a clip is this? Does it materially change what Trump was saying?
Fuck Robbie Gibb. A man who co-founded a right wing propaganda machine has the gall to accuse the public broadcaster of impartiality?? He shouldn’t be anywhere near the BBC board
So, even when they’re not in power, the Tories are still fucking up the country while Labour are in power and are also fucking up the country, then Farage is likely to get in after Starmer and god knows what he’s going to do the country??
Who knew that the board appointed by the pick by the tory picked by the tories to be the director general would be tories.
So the the top leadership of the BBC has resigned over this scandal, but “insiders” reckon it’s all a plot by those nasty tories and not thier own misbehaviour.
Ok then.
Ironic that the beeb is now taking a leaf out of Trump’s book and blaming a grand conspiracy of nefarious enemies when caught doing something wrong.
It shouldn’t really be a surprise, they’ve both got form for protecting sex offenders.
