The BBCBias plot thickens.
There is a serious problem with both editorial and corporate governance, which needs to addressed rapidly.
The resignations of Davie and Furness may well have made accountability even less transparent and impartial.

I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed

76% Russian Gas is shipped on a UK owned or insured vessels. This is £45 billion worth of gas. This is huge for Russia's budget 🧵
