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

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

If Trump does sue the BBC for $1bn it may leave some of his ideological fellow travellers here in a tricky situation. Do the Conservatives and Reform join in with BBC bashing? Or will doing so be seen as unpatriotic? After all, it would be the British public who would ultimately pay for any damages.

The BBC - for all its flaws - remains the greatest news and broadcasting service in the world.

It is everything Donald Trump and his cabal of nasty little nobodies will never be and we need to defend it.

Why the BBC's issues go deeper than its 'doctoring' of Trump video
It is not US President Donald Trump who represents the biggest political threat to the BBC, but a leaked 8,000-word letter of complaint to the broadcaster's board motivated by "despair at inaction".

Donald Trump has sent a letter to the BBC threatening legal action, following a bitter row over its coverage of his administration.
Donald Trump threatens BBC with legal action
The broadcaster said it would review a letter from Trump’s team and respond in due course.

Donald Trump is not going to sue the BBC for $1 billion

The real story today is both Reform/Farage and the Conservatives/Badenoch talking today about radically changing the BBC

This is the real agenda

N.a.v. BBC en Trump wordt nu met spijt geconstateerd dat Trump dit uitbuit om eindeloos te herhalen dat media niet te vertrouwen zijn.
Maar eigenlijk illustreert dit juist het zelfreinigend vermogen van de BBC. Zoveel flagrante leugens van Trump en co zijn nóóit gecorrigeerd! Dat is veel erger.

One strange thing about the BBC/Trump row is that the programme in question was actually made by an independent production company. Yes, the BBC producers and Panorama’s editor should have checked everything before it was broadcast. But…

A key victory in Trump's road to power in America was successfully branding the majority of its established press as "fake news". Now, he is bringing this across the pond to the BBC – where these same tactics are favoured by prominent politicians and media outlets on the right. A dangerous moment.
