Driving the news: Davie said in his resignation letter the decision to step down from the BBC's top role after five years was "entirely" his and that overall, the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director-general I have to take ultimate responsibility.""
""The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught 'doctoring' my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th," Trump said on Truth Social Sunday afternoon. He thanked the Telegraph for its reporting and added: "On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!""
Tim Davie and Deborah Turness resigned amid controversy over a Panorama clip that spliced sections of Donald Trump's speech and concerns raised in a leaked memo. The memo by former BBC adviser Michael Prescott accused the outlet of "serious and systemic" bias across several issues, including coverage of the war in Gaza. Davie said stepping down after five years was "entirely" his decision and that he must take ultimate responsibility for mistakes. Turness said the ongoing controversy was damaging to the BBC and that "the buck stops with me," prompting her offer to resign. Trump and allies welcomed the departures and criticized the BBC publicly.
