Labour Party members are calling on Keir Starmer to defend the BBC against legal threats from Donald Trump. The UK Prime Minister has expressed support for an independent and trustworthy BBC, but pressure is mounting for a more robust response to Trump’s multibillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster. The lawsuit alleges that the BBC intentionally misrepresented Trump’s speech by editing it in a misleading manner. Health minister Stephen Kinnock has voiced his support for the BBC’s stance, emphasizing the importance of the broadcaster as a crucial institution that must be protected. The Labour Party reaffirms its commitment to standing up for the BBC in this challenging situation.
