Johnson-appointee Robbie Gibb is a very significant right-wing force within the BBC, reporting in the Observer suggests today. "If I don't get my way, I'll blow the place up."

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here. Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC. The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

On Trump’s interview with GB News, where he confirmed he still intends to sue the BBC and will be speaking to the PM shortly, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain, for every TV licence fee payer... & for a free press that can hold the powerful to account."

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So many social media patriots! Delighting in the hope that the president of a foreign nation might destroy a British institution that is envied around the world! 🇬🇧

Pressure on Robbie Gibb to stand down increasing. Well-deserved union.bectu.org.uk/resource/let...

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Worthy of an item? 👇

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board. Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.

"I have met some very bad people....none as bad as trump. Not one decent cell in his body..so yes - dangerous." Jeffrey Epstein 2017

Always fun to have a look back at this...

NEW: Epstein email to his publicist July 2011 urging her to ‘investigate’ ‘liar’ Virginia Guiffre over claims she was forced to have sex with (Prince) Andrew ‘I think Buckingham Palace would love it’ ‘you and i will be able to go to Ascot for the rest of our lives’

How did those presenters keep a straight face

Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

Jst released by House Democrats - emails written by Epstein From Epstein to Maxwell 2011: ‘I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked yet is Trump… VICTIM spent hours at my house with him…’ Donald Trump has always emphatically denied any wrongdoing

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh

The BBC can retrieve something from this mess (and show US broadcasters what a spine is) by sending Donald Trump a four letter response: “See you in court!” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

An analysis of BBC news coverage over the last 4 years shows a shameless bias against Vladimir Putin, with BBC reporters insisting on calling the Special Military Operation in Ukraine “an invasion”

More of this. It’s time the world took a stand.

@kuntieplopkins.bsky.social The inside inf on the BBC.

@crookedfootball.bsky.social You only have to read the summary below to see how the BBC has been infiltrated courtesy of previous government. And how DID Gibb get ownership of the Jewish Chronicle???

@bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social Think this might just explain why the BBC apologised. 👇

@ruthshaw.bsky.social This excellent summary gave me the insight into why the BBC is seemingly running scared. It also sickens me.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on. All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

@robfordmancs.bsky.social The BBC was infiltrated by some bad players courtesy of previous government. Current government needs to rectify. Excellent summary below.

The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey

@gabrielmilland.bsky.social Maybe this summary below explains the BBC?

@slowbikeiain.bsky.social Maybe the summary below on how the BBC has been infiltrated will explain many things?

@aiannucci.bsky.social Well, the Guardian are possibly using the work of their previous editor, whose excellent summary re BBC infiltration is below.

@peterjukes.bsky.social You are of course, well aware of what's been written by Alan below re BBC infiltration?

@chaillich.bsky.social We are all being harmed. By people needing power & money no matter the cost to UK. 👇

@jburnmurdoch.ft.com This excellent summary below on the BBC is both informative and troubling. Imo Gibb should the one to go voluntarily or be made to go.
