Power games

Robert Peston devotes part of his Spectator diary to matters BBC. He says if Beeboids are hoping for a relaxation of the knee on their neck with the departure of Dominic Cummings from high office, then they need to think again. He quotes one senior Tory who was contemplating applying to chair the broadcaster as being warned off "because they just believe I wouldn't do what they wanted , i.e. give the BBC a bit of kicking ....This isn't Cummings, it's Munira [Mirza] and her husband, Dougie Smith". 

And Mr Peston quotes would-be applicants being told "Don't waste your time, the Prime Minister has made up his mind it will be Richard Sharp".
