Do hope people will take note of this part.
Sources have told the Guardian that Robbie Gibb - who served as director of communications to Theresa May in Downing Street between 2017 and 2019 - was instrumental in the appointment of Prescott as an adviser to the BBC's editorial guidelines and standards committee. The pair are reported to be friends. Concerns have previously been raised about the role of Gibb, who joined the BBC board when Boris Johnson was in Downing Street.
