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.

</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas on Tuesday said that ratifying the law to execute Palestinian prisoners is "an extension of the racist Zionist approach and an attempt to legitimise mass murder against our people".</p>
<p>Hamas called the Israeli bill a "dangerous criminal escalation within the systematic extermination and ethnic cleansing against" Palestinian people.</p>
<p>The Israeli Knesset advanced a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners convicted of killing Israelis on "nationalistic grounds".</p>
<p>In the first reading, 39 members approved the bill, while 16 others opposed it. </p>
<p>A bill must pass the third and final level of voting by a simple majority to become law.</p>
<p>The legislation, championed by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, was pushed through the Knesset’s National Security Committee on 3 November, drawing widespread condemnation from human rights groups.</p>

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

The wording of the club’s complaint to PGMOL is about as strongly put as you’ll ever see in a statement (other than what Forest said about Stuart Attwell).
“…We do not accept that the decision was arrived at for subjective reasons…”
Meaning we believe at a club level that we were stitched up.
