Former prime minister and Trump sycophant Boris Johnson has been firing off publicly about this in the rightwing Torygraph newspaper. He's been putting political pressure on the BBC to get rid of anyone who isn't pushing a rightwing viewpoint. He replaced some traditionally politically neutral key roles in BBC management, governance and oversight with Tories, and is cross that it might be unravelling slightly.
