To Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Oliver Dowden MP - Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

Petition text

We pay for the BBC so it can hold the government to account; be a trusted, independent news source; and follow the science on issues like climate change.

Keep it publicly funded.
Put someone in charge who believes in the values of the BBC.
Do not prevent the media from holding your government to account.
Do not install a climate change denier as Chair.
