BBC board letter to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee concludes with a statement I agree with to my core:
“There is an increasing need for the public to be informed in a way that is impartial, truthful and is based on evidence they can trust. That is the sacred job of the BBC.”

A lot of people suggesting the state pension age needs to go up further - this is the first time I’ve seen a guaranteed minimum payout suggested, however. Might that sweeten the pill?
Today @stevewebb1.bsky.social and I released a report setting out our views on where State Pension Age (SPA) needs to go. We submitted to this to the Government SPA review last month.
We recommend sharp increases to SPA, but with a guaranteed payout of 5 years. 🧵
