I agree with this, but I think if the BBC were better led, it would make fewer culpable errors and it would both directly and indirectly be better placed to fight the real and concerted campaign against it.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

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?

Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.

They deserve nothing but total contempt and exclusion from mainstream society. What they'll keep getting instead is an endless string of mainstream media platforms to spread their hate. It's sickening.
All the ghouls who don't care about the victims but were hoping it was a terrorist attack are entirely beyond shame and redemption. They are, by far, the worst demographic in our country.

This is a great point to make. It's important to recognize many news orgs go against their readers interests and lobby on behalf of advertisers. But it's difficult to find a case more blatant and hideous than this one
Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.
For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act is now law.
That means greater protection from rent hikes and unfair evictions for 11 million renters—giving people the security to put down roots and build lives.
Reform and the Conservatives voted against banning no-fault evictions.
