The BBC is reporting details from Shumeet Banerji's resignation letter from the BBC Board.
Pretty obvious implication is that Samir Shah has been running the board incompetently, and not defending executives against Robbie Gibb and chums.

PFI is where Private Investment build NHS buildings and then the NHS rents it.
The result is the NHS permanently has 'no money' because it has to pay huge rent costs and the Government goes, "Oh dear we will have to cut services."

🐺 Wolves in dog's clothing 🐺
Our latest in @pnas.org uncovers a surprise three to five thousand years ago: 2 canids in human contexts on a tiny island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, that ate marine food—but had 100% gray wolf ancestry.
Where they tame wolves, or even an incipient domestication?

I hate to sound like I'm endorsing Rubio for anything, but he's certainly the better between these two.
Vance and Rubio have been rivals for a long time, and the latest US peace deal blunders have likely intensified their rivalry.
For the sake of the world, let’s hope Rubio wins this unfair and complex battle.
Vance is in an easier position as VP and has stronger backing
