Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

🚨Very significant FOI. Highlighted text suggests Scot Gov edging towards admitting its flagship tax claim isn’t true. Sounds like SFC will converge with HMRC. Extremely disingenuous to say it was always about what was “expected” to happen, and not about what actually happened.

This is for all of us who've been fighting to bring down Brexit. The pro-EU rank and file. First we were Remainers, now Rejoiners. Fighting lies and fascists every day. For a decade now. One step at a time. Winning arguments. Undermining their hate and division. Until finally they fall!
