Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.
We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.
The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.
The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job.
To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

The irony meter just broke.
The BBC isn't perfect, but it's one of the few things standing between our British values and a Trump-style takeover of our politics.

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10.
We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

It's right Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appears before US Congress over his links to Epstein and his victims.
He should also give evidence to our Parliament. The public deserve answers and full transparency about this scandal.

Samir Zitouni and Stephen Crean are heroes who saved lives. They showed the best of Britain: putting themselves in harm's way to protect others.
They both deserve the George Cross in recognition of their incredible bravery.

If government excuses were included in GDP, our economic woes would be over. But what we really need to hear from the Chancellor is action – especially on Europe.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.
So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

As MPs finally start debate on the Hillsborough Law, I want to pay tribute to the families and survivors of Hillsborough and so many other tragedies and scandals. This wouldn't be happening without their courage and tenacity.
Now let's make the law as strong as it can be.

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.

The King is absolutely right to strip Prince Andrew of both his titles and his residence at the Royal Lodge.
It’s clear that Andrew's position had become totally untenable, having disgraced his office and embarrassed the country.
