Russian interference and illicit political funding going back to 2010 must now be re-investigated and the results made public.
It appears that parties that pride themselves on “patriotism” may be most implicated. ‘…. Friends of Russia and donations need to be revisited.

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.
But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
