In 2015 Cameron won an overall majority, and it was thrown away by May in 2017 because of Brexit.
In 2019 Johnson won a thumping majority, and yet he was out of office less than three years later.
In 2024 Starmer won a thumping majority and seems to have no idea what to do with it.

I quote this because governments, over the past decade, or so, at least, have used the notion of terrorism far too loosely. In the UK, we have this with Palestine Action. I'm not saying that illegal events haven't been perpetrated, but terrorism? I'm not so sure...

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group.
U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines.
They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

Time for our quarterly update, and we’re starting with good news!
Coal generation in Spain 🇪🇸 has dropped 97% since the early 2000s, making up just 1% of the country’s power mix so far this year. The payoff? Cleaner air and 95% drop in emissions from coal power in ten years.

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.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

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.
