https://t.co/b7e7YQflZH Please bear this table in mind when #DailyMailUK+the #Murdoch press attack the #BBC. They are commercial rivals of our #publicservicebroadcaster, competing with it for internet traffic - something they never tell their readers.

Please don’t let hostile politicians, defunders+rival media organisations disembowel the #BBC, *our* national #publicservicebroadcaster, a UK soft power asset+huge cultural achievement, respected worldwide. Please lobby your MPs, Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan at enquiries@dcms.gov.uk, CommonsDCMS Committee chair Julian Knight MP, and Labour Shadow Culture Secretary Lucy Powell MP. Thank you!
