winstons25.bsky.social @winstons25.bsky.social · 7hThe Culture Secretary can only terminate a board member's appointment under very narrow, legally defined conditions mostly around disciplinary issues .The next Charter is up for Review currently and will come into effect Jan 2028.I suspect there will be changes across the board . 100
winstons25.bsky.social @winstons25.bsky.social · 8hThe Tories packed the BBC higher echelons with their cronies during the last Charter Review in 2017 ,it went by with hardly a glance but here we are.I think Reform,if and it is a big if would dismantle the BBC ,I don’t think that is any big secret. 110
winstons25.bsky.social @winstons25.bsky.social · 8h The government faces a strict legal threshold embedded in the BBC's Royal Charter that prevents the Culture Secretary from simply sacking BBC Board member Sir Robbie Gibb on political grounds or over allegations of bias. 120
