The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “BBC Director General Tim Davie has ‘no idea’ if a single executive voted for Brexit” – below is their description.
The director general of the BBC has admitted he has no idea whether any of his executives voted for Brexit while insisting he wants to stamp out “institutional groupthink”.
The BBC was caught in a recent political storm when it hired Jess Brammar, a Left-leaning journalist, as executive news editor.
Tim Davie said he was determined to hire news staff from different backgrounds who would represent a variety of political views.
But when challenged by MPs on whether the BBC could offer a counterweight to Ms Brammar’s appointment by citing a senior staff member who supported Brexit, Mr Davie said: “I have no idea. I don’t know where my top team is on Brexit. We don’t talk like that.”
