This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC.
The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

On Trump’s interview with GB News, where he confirmed he still intends to sue the BBC and will be speaking to the PM shortly, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
“This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain, for every TV licence fee payer... & for a free press that can hold the powerful to account."

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.
Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.
