BBC costs under 48p a day, less than 2nd class stamp. c40 per cent govt cut to its public funding 2010-2024 causing great damage. Pls note I don’t work there.
Enough of hostile politicians, defunders+rival media organisations damaging @BBC, our national #publicservicebroadcaster a UK asset+achievement, respected worldwide. Pls lobby MPs Culture Sec @lisanandy at [email protected]+ @CommonsCMS chair @cj_dinenage for proper funding.
I’ve warned for some years now that the concerted attacks on the BBC would end in its destruction. Only a determined few want this to happen. The rest are unthinkingly caught up in the mud-slinging, or feel powerless. If you want the BBC to survive, now’s the time to speak up.

BBC’s public funding was cut under Conservative led and Conservative governments 2010-2024 by 38% according @vlvuk. For Conservatives to complain about cut programmes is like a person who murders their parents+complains about being an orphan: the classic definition of chutzpah.
Well, if you continually support cutting the BBC then I’m shocked you’re shocked that eventually something you value will be cut.
Amazing how people want to cut the BBC, but only for things they don't like.

Very disappointed by Politics Live’s decision not to go to Party Conferences. Conferences are an essential part of the political process in the UK and a chance to engage with members and volunteers (and not just MPs) as well as getting the ‘mood’. I hope they think again.
