When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.

No 10 says "no" when asked if PM thinks BBC is institutionally biased or corrupt.
"We support a strong, independent BBC and in an age of disinformation the argument for a robust, impartial UK news service is stronger than ever, but it's important that trust is maintained and errors are corrected."

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Apparently Nigel Farage has told LBC (of course) that the BBC has ‘deeply offended the leader of the free world’.
