Before Zack Polanski dares try to take credit for the abolition of the two child benefit cap that may happen in the budget, Starmer told the Treasury in May that they should scrap it. Bridget Phillipson, has indicated for a long time that it should be abolished. It was a matter of when, not if.

Yeah, this is a serious failing. Same as when Thatcher's pick, Marmaduke Hussey, forced out Alasdair Milne: hushed up, opaque, behind closed doors, secretive. This is a public body, using licence fee funds, operating according to the scrutiny of an elected government. It should be transparent.
Question are the BBC Board minutes in the public domain? Or is it just a summary? Wondering why other 'independent' institutions like the BoE Monetary Committee do put out reports & not the BBC @iandunt.bsky.social
