But that’s one reason why Farage & his ilk hate the BBC, because it ‘belongs’ to the people & is funded by a licence fee. How anti-capitalist! Advertising can’t make money from it, & it’s not answerable to the usual demands capitalists. ‘Kill it & raise something we can make money from’ they say!
The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.

Starmer should have given #RobbieGibb the boot a year ago.
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.

#ukpolitics How many promises in their manifesto did the Tories fail to deliver? Loads! They didn't build 20 new hospitals or HS2 as a starter. But I don't remember media going at the Tories about what they didn't deliver from their manifesto. Things have changed in the world so tax rises are right.

At what point do Labour MPs decide to rescue their party - and their seats - by evicting Starmer and Reeves? When voting intention figures fall to 19%?
15%?
10%?
(Last week they stood at 21%, and have prob fallen since)
The longer they leave it, the harder and less plausible the recovery will be.
