The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

More than 500 UN staff member have urged its human rights chief to describe the Gaza conflict as a genocide.
It's been clear for a long time that Netanyahu's regime is genocidal.

Thinktank predicts wider inequality gap and calls for revised policies to tackle flying and excess private car use
