“while the Tory party had been hurt by repeated allegations of sleaze, especially during the Johnson years, voters were not yet as angry about the scandals as they had been in the late 1990s”

Perhaps because we’ve become inured to Tory sleaze; maybe that was their plan all along. Just keep behaving that way, and the plebs will start to see it as normal...

Think what you like about cronyism & the old boys’ network but yet again someone else takes the blame for Boris Johnson’s corruption while he faces no consequences whatever.

“Richard Sharp is out at the BBC: now can we think about how we hold other miscreants to account?”

Indeed. And there are so many to choose from…

Disgraced chairman was no friend of public service broadcasting. His right wing friends in will be delighted with the damage he's done.

So. has finally resigned. Another one marking that we've transitioned from people honourably taking responsibility for their actions to a time when you can behave as you like and if caught only resign when you've exhausted all possibility of weathering the storm.

minister Lucy Frazer writes to disgraced chairman after his resignation:
"I know that you are held in high regard by the BBC Board".
Well, every organisation has its sycophants...

Good that has resigned, but the government will just appoint another Tory stooge to replace him.

For an notionally independent organization like the BBC why does the government appoint the chairperson directly?

Amazingly, allowing the government to appoint the leader of an independent media corporation turned out to be a bad idea. Who could have foreseen such a shambles?
