BBC is the last bastion of independent news and Gibb has tried everything to push them to the right of politics. Sky will soon own ITV and GB News is an extreme right wing propaganda channel. Get him out and appoint proper journalists to oversee the institution.
I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed
‘Gibb’s supporters say he is trying to save the BBC from itself; he was also heard last year to say that if he didn’t get his way, he would “blow the place up”.’

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
