Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

The BBC isn't perfect, and it makes mistakes, but it's also a vital national institution and trusted source of news for millions across the globe.
This should be an opportunity to improve the BBC, not destroy it.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

It’s appalling that under this Government millions of pounds are still being funnelled into Putin’s war chest through UK trade.
Putin must be punished for his barbaric war, not rewarded.
We @libdems.org.uk have a Bill to seize frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. I urge all MPs to back it.

In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that climate impacts must be considered in planning decisions.
Yet councils are allowing mega farms to conceal their emissions.
Thirty-five developments have routinely ignored or downplayed the industry’s carbon footprint.

Fascinating that Nick Robinson names Robbie Gibb as the instigator of the coup at the BBC
He was promoted to ensure that Brexit went ahead
He is the sort of shadowy character who is essential to the unpicking of democracy
This should be the end of his time on the BBC board

Keir Starmer has just told COP30 in the Amazon:
"The Amazon rainforest helps to regulate the climate for every person on earth"
So why has the UK Govt refused to invest in Brazil's fund to save tropical rainforests?
& why no mention of Britain's temperate rainforests?
