@arusbridger.bsky.social Your excellent summary on why the BBC is where it is now should be seen by SO many. Because where else will these shadowy figures turn to?
Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
