Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith says there needs to be a “fundamental branch-and-root review” into the BBC’s news coverage, adding that in his view, “it has allowed itself to become a mouthpiece for left-wing coverage”. It comes after the organisation’s Director-General Tim Davie resigned over a damning report into the editing of a speech by President Trump in ‘Panorama’. Report by Keechl.

00:00Well, it's welcome that they've taken senior responsibility at the top.
00:04What should happen, what should have happened earlier and what should happen now is a fundamental branch and root review of the BBC.
00:12Let's start with the newsroom. Look at all of those involved in the terrible reporting that ended up in the Prescott files.
00:20But also let's go back and have a proper review of what public service broadcasting looks like in this day and age.
00:26It is wrong that people are sent to jail for not paying their licence fee when from Glastonbury to Gary Lineker, the BBC has just allowed itself to be a mouthpiece for left wing coverage.
