>”I have been very clear that people must be held accountable for the decisions that were taken,” Nandy told the Times on Saturday. “I have asked the question to the board [of the BBC]. Why has nobody been fired?”
Very performative, goes down well with the lobbies putting pressure on.

It feels quite speculative to state that someone should be fired.
But glad we pay our MPs so much money to add absolutely nothing worthwhile to either the conversation or our country. I say this as someone who used to think Lisa Nandy was alright.

>The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, has demanded to know why no one at the BBC has lost their job over the airing of a documentary on Gaza that featured the son of a Hamas official.
Last time I checked you can’t just sack someone. Strange take given the Labour bill on strengthening workers’ rights.
Seems performative and designed to appease lobbyists.

They have to follow their own disciplinary process or they’ll get sued. You’d think the government should know that.

A viewpoint that maybe should be applied to politicians as well?

Labours stance over all this is real weird
Hamas is a bad org, but it’s also not exactly a simple one, and whilst there is an armed wing there was also just loads of local politicians, healthcare officials,ect. It’s not too different to the CCP, of how every strata of governance is affected. And like all these orgs it’s not monolithic in the slightest and assuming so is disingenuous.
So forgive me if editors just using the voice of son of the agriculture minister isnt headline news. The kids 13. And editing, production, direction and all that is still down to the beeb. It’s a non-story even if the bbc probably should have done their homework. (Though it is hard to do journalism where the IDF won’t let journalists in)
But nandy whipping it up and making a fuss is bizzare. Even when the Tories were in power they seemed to be trying to distance themselves rather than eternally trying to make an example of protesters or people wanting to give voice to the Palestinians.

Labour really are awful. Just looking after themselves on this. I’m surprised the media committee hasn’t been called to sit on po faced judgement.
