As ever, the loathsome Farage rubs his greedy little hands with glee as he hopes that GB’news’ will profit from the ‘scandal’ he helped to whip up…
Honest to god… why do we have to be so kicked about by these ultra-cynical right wing hysterics?

The BBC has to flush out any saboteurs urgently. If anyone on the Board leaked that memo or encouraged this resignation clusterfuck, they need to be held accountable and fired immediately. I do hope Samir Shah has control of the BBC board.

Starmer and the Labour government should have jumped on this day 1
It's been obvious (even to a non-media type like me) that since Boris Johnsons day and before that the wrong people were appointed to the board
The Board needs to be clean and neutral without any affiliations
Robbie Gibb 1st to go

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.
