Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.
We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

This government needs to grow a spine, a stomach, and a sense of moral purpose right now. Yes, I know that is vanishingly unlikely.
I wrote about this the other day, but I do think it's underappreciated how the lack of interest in government for arguing for a world we might want to live has allowed some of the worst of us to creep in.
sat on a train near some drunk white bloke who, one assumes, was out on the march today and he spent ages physically threatening a black guy but also, for some reason, telling him he was going to rape him? but anyway everything feels great in Britain right now

When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive.
But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right.
Absolutely shameful.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories has called for sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and for global corporations to be held accountable for “profiting from genocide” in Gaza.
