Ed Davey calls for Robbie Gibb to be ousted from BBC board
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The Liberal Democrat leader said that Sir Robbie who served as Theresa May's director of communications should have no role in appointing the new director general following the departure of Tim Davie. It follows claims that Sir Robbie led the charge in claims over systemic bias in the corporation, which was followed by the resignation of Mr Davie and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness."
The Independent seeks donations to fund journalists on the ground and to keep reporting accessible without paywalls, covering topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. Donations are presented as enabling reporters to speak to both sides and to investigate matters such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Sir Ed Davey called for Sir Robbie Gibb to be removed from the BBC board, arguing he should have no role in appointing the new director general after Tim Davie's departure. Sir Robbie was appointed by Boris Johnson, confirmed by Rishi Sunak, and has described himself as a Thatcherite.
