Serious news, or an easy hit from the Levido playbook ? Many column inches this morning are devoted to the likelihood of 'a review of BBC funding', delivered by an unnamed ministerial source. Are there, perchance, by-elections this week ?
The Charter runs out in 2027, and it is unthinkable that any Government wouldn't want a review well before then. Proper 'news' might take the form of fleshing out the review - independently-led ? to identify scope as well as revenue methods ? a panel, seeking wider consultation ? a timetable ?
John Whittingdale has plenty of 'previous' on this front...
