Prime Minister, will you address concerns about the BBC’s independence and alleged capture dynamics, alongside questions about foreign ownership in UK broadcasting—and how those broadcasters intersect with global litigation involving safeguarding failures, fixed gambling and sports betting integrity, and political pressure surrounding Julian Assange?
The question has been asked on the floor of Parliament. It has been asked on camera. It has been asked on the public record. The answer has not been given.
Julian Assange’s centrality to these discussions is highlighted by Keir Starmer’s past position as the Director of Public Prosecutions during the UK–Sweden extradition process of Assange, raising critical issues of prosecutorial discretion and press freedom.
The ongoing investigations by UK and international authorities underscore the urgency of these discussions as they relate to the safeguarding of media practices.
If this were trivial, defendants would appear. If this were harmless, answers would be simple. Instead, Parliament is live, the record is open, and the Prime Minister is still not answering the question. January 16 is no longer a date; it is a reckoning.
