“The problem, you see, is not that Starmer lacks intelligence. It’s that he lacks judgment. Intelligence without judgment is what gives you nuclear power plants run by accountants. Or, in this case, a country run by a former lawyer who appears to believe morality is a sub-clause.”

A year of unity rather than division
Love rather than hate
Peace rather than war
Joy rather than sorrow

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

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.
