This is the best argument I have heard for cleaning out Gibb and Grossman .. I really hope Lisa Nandy listens and acts !
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Incidentally, I don't think I notice a black person at that event, other than Aurora. And this is the second time recently she gets booed at one of their pressers.
Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

Last week I voted to strengthen protections against exploitative zero-hours contracts and unfair dismissal.
We’re fighting for secure, well-paid jobs — the Lib Dems and Reform are siding with exploitative employers.

The reason I was so critical of Tim Davie and the bias towards the Tories and Reform in recent times is because I desperately want and need the BBC to thrive and succeed.

Excellent from Starmer !
Starmer has put the Government behind the BBC, describing it as an "internationally renowned" institution. It rejected allegations that the broadcasting service is "institutionally biased" and said it is important the BBC acts to maintain trust.

Before Zack Polanski dares try to take credit for the abolition of the two child benefit cap that may happen in the budget, Starmer told the Treasury in May that they should scrap it. Bridget Phillipson, has indicated for a long time that it should be abolished. It was a matter of when, not if.

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA
