From The Times, it's clear Sir Robbie Gibb has offered an explanation of what's going on over the appointment of Jess Brammar as Editor of BBC tv news channels directly to No 10 - not, of course, directly to licence-fee payers. The paper's headline: No 10 supports Robbie Gibb over claims he blocked BBC appointment of Jess Brammar, with quotes from 'a senior government source'.
“Robbie wasn’t acting on his own,” the source said. “He had consulted with other members. Labour can push for him to go all they like, he’s not going to. Appointments are a matter for the BBC but that includes the board of the BBC.”
