A moment of peril demands a new approach – on everything from funding to the BBC charterPat Younge is the chair of the British Broadcasting ChallengeWe have not been here before. The BBC is used to coming under pressure from political parties, well-funded pressure groups and powerful newspaper publishers.

He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’What I struggle to understand, I say to Danny Kruger in his office at Reform UK HQ, is why a serious Conservative, with a glittering future like yours, would defect to a party led by Nigel Farage?
