This clip sets out the facts surrounding the relase in error last week, what was know at PMQs.
It's import to listen to, as I'm certain the media will be selective in what they say.

OK. Here's the thing. You just can't put on a jacket and pretend to be a security patrol in the UK. It's actually illegal. Who the actual F are these "Essex Spartans"? Government has laws and rules and they need to enforce them.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.
