Responding to Richard Sharp's resignation, Liberal Democrat culture spokesperson and Far North MP Jamie Stone said:

"The BBC is the number one source of trusted news, and that depends on proper independence & resilience to political pressure.

"Boris Johnson should never have been allowed to appoint Richard Sharp as BBC Chair.

"We need a rigorous & transparent process to appoint the next Chair."
