Ireland has a new left-wing president who has been sharply critical of Israel. And, speaking at her inauguration ceremony earlier today, Catherine Connolly wants to push the limits of the ceremonial role.

Nearly two years ago, I wrote about the extraordinary influence of former Tory spin doctor Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC. It's still a helpful backgrounder for what's going on now. New readers start here: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
How the government captured the BBC
A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

That would be Robbie Gibb, former Director of Communications for Tory PM Theresa May, and appointed to the board of the #BBC by Tory PM Boris Johnson. But I’m sure he’s completely unbiased. 🤷♂️ #BBCBias
Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
BBC board member with Tory links ‘led charge’ in systemic bias claims, say insiders
Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had ‘a lot of oxygen in the room’

Yep. #BBCBias #ToryCorruption
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.

In a demoralizing world it does warm the heart to see an eighty seven year-old lady repeatedly burn the world’s richest man to a crisp in a manner that clearly gets right under his skin and provokes him to flailing, compensatory exertions that only affirm the point she was making.

That’s nearly *double* the worst pre-Brexit estimates of a ‘no deal’ scenario. No wonder the UK is in such a mess! And who do we have to thank for this? Charlatans like Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. #BrexitReality #BrexitBrokeBritain #RejoinEU
"Research released this month by economists at the Bank of England, the Bundesbank, King’s College London and the universities of Stanford and Nottingham underscored the economic hit from leaving the EU. Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6-8%"

The BBC’s problem is not really impartiality, it’s understanding the relationship between impartiality and accuracy.
The two are paired in the BBC’s code. Due impartiality is paired with due accuracy. The BBC forgets this all too often, focussing only on impartiality and neglecting accuracy.
