Ed Davey urges PM Starmer to sack BBC board member Robbie Gibb

Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to sack BBC board member Robbie Gibb, a former communications director for Theresa May. Davey argues that Gibb's presence undermines the BBC's independence and impartiality, and he should have no role in appointing the next director general. The demand comes amid a broader crisis at the BBC, which includes a threatened lawsuit from US President Donald Trump over the editing of a speech and resignations of top executives. Gibb has also been accused of interfering in editorial decisions and is linked to the Jewish Chronicle, which faced criticism for its coverage of the war on Gaza.
