If Trump does sue the BBC for $1bn it may leave some of his ideological fellow travellers here in a tricky situation. Do the Conservatives and Reform join in with BBC bashing? Or will doing so be seen as unpatriotic? After all, it would be the British public who would ultimately pay for any damages.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

The BBC - for all its flaws - remains the greatest news and broadcasting service in the world.

It is everything Donald Trump and his cabal of nasty little nobodies will never be and we need to defend it.

N.a.v. BBC en Trump wordt nu met spijt geconstateerd dat Trump dit uitbuit om eindeloos te herhalen dat media niet te vertrouwen zijn.
Maar eigenlijk illustreert dit juist het zelfreinigend vermogen van de BBC. Zoveel flagrante leugens van Trump en co zijn nóóit gecorrigeerd! Dat is veel erger.

A key victory in Trump's road to power in America was successfully branding the majority of its established press as "fake news". Now, he is bringing this across the pond to the BBC – where these same tactics are favoured by prominent politicians and media outlets on the right. A dangerous moment.
