Or somehow shoehorn citizen oversight into it's governance. Something has to change about both its editorial management structure and its political guidelines and use of unweighted 'both sideism'. And that might be a better way to effect change than simply sacking people. Though do that as well! 🤣

It definitely needs citizen oversight, which should be transparent and visible to the public in some way. I think the license fee needs to be reviewed over longer periods, so it’s less influenced by the government of the day. Make access to the gov legally binding to reduce fear of “losing access”

I've heard (don't know if true) BBC reform was year 2 + in Labour plans, immediate priority was economic. So, hopefully they'll come up with something. There was a recent big consultation, I responded v fiercely on platforming Farage.

I remember doing the same! Labour don’t have any urgency about them - with their numbers they could have enacted media and electoral reform from day one.
