The BBC crisis should have been averted. The previous government attempted to muzzle and control it through a series of overtly political appointments. However, the Beeb’s failure is what happens when the media becomes more concerned with ratings than integrity; when journalism is driven by telling ‘stories’ rather than seeking truth; when broadcasters prefer […]

I remain determined to prevent Government Ministers from bribing or bullying Cornwall into a ‘Combined Mayoral Authority’ across a wide south west of England region. That’s the challenge we face. Cornwall’s 6 MPs and Cornwall Council have collectively made our position clear to the government. We too want devolution. But on our terms. […]
