What the BBC should do is introduce more facts. So prefacing every mention of Trump with the phrase 'convicted felon'. Then put their factcheck on his comments back on the front of their website.

'They were those like Sir Oswald Mosley who were fascinated by the spectacle of brutal power. They would like to use it themselves. They grovelled to Nazi dictatorship in order that they could make people in their turn grovel to them'

Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump.
Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

The BBC being a very trusted news source is part of the reason why Donald Trump is seeking to harm it.
He's already taken aim at NPR and PBS by defunding them.
He only wants privately- owned media that he can pressurise to favour him and not report the truth

Regressive, anti-environment talk from… the Lib Dems’ Tim Farron.

People aren’t seeing the benefit of renewables because electricity prices are still tied to gas. That means higher bills for everyone, even though more of our power comes from cheaper renewables.
We must break that link to cut energy bills for everyone.
