"Sir Robbie Gibb, communications director to Theresa May when she was prime minister, tried to block the preferred candidate to oversee the BBC’s news channels because the appointment would shatter relations with the government, said people with knowledge of the recruitment process.

Gibb, who became a non-executive director of the BBC in April, issued his warning to the news division’s managers after Jess Brammar, former editor of HuffPost UK and deputy editor of BBC Newsnight, emerged as the favoured candidate in the recruitment process.

Gibb, a former BBC journalist, told BBC director for news and current affairs Fran Unsworth in a text message that she “cannot make this appointment”, said people privy to the communication. He added the government’s “fragile trust in the BBC will be shattered” if she went ahead.

Brammar’s appointment as BBC executive news editor has stalled since Gibb’s intervention on June 22 and taken longer than anticipated, said people involved in the recruitment process."

As if BBC News isn't as governmentally independent as RT already. Let's also not forget the current Director General received that appointment after a £400k donation to the Tories.

If Brammar does eventually receive the position, I wonder if that might improve the BBC's awful anti-trans bigotry? HuffPo's pretty good on that front.

So...
Previously unbeknownst to us, we recently learned that we owe $1516.71 in utility bills. One out of the three bodies in the house is working, but it simply is not enough to cover this in addition to our monthly fees (which we are fine on, currently). If the debt is not paid by the end of this month, our electricity will be shut off.
Please help a queer and disabled household.
