Trump sues BBC: Starmer must stand up for Britain

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to Donald Trump’s interview with GB News, where he confirmed that he still intends to sue the BBC and will be speaking to Keir Starmer over the weekend, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:

“This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain, for every TV licence fee payer in the country and for a free press that can hold the powerful to account.

“When he speaks to Trump, Keir Starmer must demand that he drops his ludicrous lawsuit and stops interfering in our country.

“The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to the President. If he can’t stop him attacking one of our most precious institutions and hitting millions of licence fee payers in the pocket, what was it all for?”
