The BBC should meet Trump's demands in advance by announcing - soon - a programme in the Panorama slot, and advertising it across BBC networks. The programme would play Trump's 6 January 2021 speech in full, unedited and without comment.

- I'd look at bypassing Casey and reviving the Dilnot adult care proposals; the care cost cap got most attention, but Dilnot also planned to substantially increase the number of people qualifying for council-funded care, which would increase the number of people "getting something" from the system

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Progressive thought has been totally expunged from the British political mainstream, and *still* the argument is that there’s an unacceptable institutional bias to the left within the news media.
