During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests.
According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle.

Who really funds the Jewish Chronicle? Why it’s troubling that we don’t know…
Four years ago, a mysterious consortium came to the rescue of the beleaguered publication—and nobody is really clear about who is behind the scenes. B...

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
