The BBC is to call for an end to political appointments to its board as part of sweeping changes designed to protect its independence.

@kibcol1049 Love to see it. Are we going to be taking a fire hose to the current board to clean things up? It’s sorely needed, and I’m not just talking about former Conservative government apparatchiks.

End to political appointees? Only while there’s a *Labour* government.

@OneInterestingFact @bee Time to stop all political appointments and all funding. Then of course those enormously high salaries and sanitised reports will go too.

@kibcol1049 @OneInterestingFact I don’t agree with defunding them tbh. I’m for accountability. All sorts of hideously worse shit will flow into the space left behind by the Beeb if it goes.

Separate BBC News from the rest of the BBC. Fund the latter. Watch the former get assimilated by GBeebies.
