Reaction to resignations of BBC bosses Tim Davie and Deborah Turness | BBC News
Update: 2025-11-09
Description
The resignation of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness came after The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited a Donald Trump speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.
In a statement, Davie said: "Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility".
UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has welcomed Davie's resignation and thanked him for his leadership of the BBC through a period of "significant change".
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said it's right that Davie and Turness have resigned, but added there has been a "catalogue of serious failures that runs far deeper".
