Labour calls for investigation into appointment process for BBC chair after Boris Johnson 'sleaze' allegations

The man currently in the top role, Richard Sharp, allegedly helped Boris Johnson secure a loan guarantee before being recommended for the job.

Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell has written to the Commissioner for Public Appointments, William Shawcross CVO, asking him to investigate the appointment process. Labour has already reported Mr Johnson to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards following the report in the Sunday Times, which his spokesperson denied as"rubbish".

Mr Sharp has also denied a conflict of interest, but calls for clarity are growing after Foreign Secretary James Cleverly

😂😂😂

Isn’t he a Labour Lord

SAME OL' TORY, SAME OL' STORY The same man who was the boss of RishiSunak GoldmanSachs is the same man who helped BorisJohnson obtain a huge loan then got given a cushty job as boss BBC Are you keeping up with the CORRUPTION conservatives? Yeah, it's a job keeping up

What if it wasn’t a loan….but a BRIBE…..hmmmm BorisJohnson BBC borisbrokebritain BorisTheLiar

Maybe Labour should concentrate on having some policies instead of muck raking

Labour would call for an investigation if they thought BorisJohnson had pee'd on the toilet seat. I love it how Labour just glosses over its own sleaze like they are all a bunch of angelic moralists farting rainbows.

The Labour party hate Boris because they know he can stop them from getting into no 10. He is quick, witty and ties the Labour party in knots

They should also report him for impersonation still thinks he’s Prime Minister 😜

Huge chip on his shoulder and disappointed office seaker. Pathetic.

Labour needs to investige the MP's who were abusing the female MP.

And they wanted to sell off Channel 4. Largely to silence C4 news and pocket some schill banker money along the way. Conservatives want total control of the news agenda to pump in the propaganda 24/7. TorySleaze Toriesout

are they finally gonna lay a glove on this corrupt cabal?

When will UKLabour remove the whip from Llyod Russell-Moyle? Or as we all expect, they support and welcome misogynistic bullies in the party.

Desperate Labour wanting Boris out of the way...they fear his popularity...what about Starmer and his tax dodging.....

Also need to question the appointment of Tory placeman Robbie Gibb to the Board of the BBC

They would wouldn’t they. Detract from themselves

How mamas more investigation into this governments corrupt,it’s a weekly occurrence now
