BBC Chair Richard Sharp Resigns Over Role in Boris Johnson Loan Saga

Naman Ramachandran BBC chairman Richard Sharp has resigned his position over his role in a 2020 loan to then U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Sharp had been under pressure ever since a parliamentary inquiry into the matter by the same Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee that had interviewed him for the job found that he had made “significant errors of judgement” when he did not declare his role in the facilitation of the loan to Johnson. Sharp, a banker and former chair of the Royal Academy of Arts, was appointed in January 2021 on the recommendation of Oliver Dowden, then DCMS secretary and Johnson. A report in U.K.’s The Sunday Times in January alleged that Johnson put forward the recommendation just weeks after Sharp “helped to arrange a guarantee on a loan of up to £800,000 [$990,000 ]” for Johnson.

Do you think King Charles should pay for the Coronation himself? Vote in our poll

King Charles’ Coronation is estimated to cost a staggering £100million - but should the monarch fund the momentous occasion himself? The historic event comes as households across the UK struggle with cost-of-living pressures, including soaring energy prices and high inflation, and some critics have questioned whether the cost of such an event is appropriate.The substantial sum was estimated by the Operation Golden Orb committee, who are planning the Coronation which falls on Saturday, May 6. As it's a state event, the UK government will be paying for the Coronation, meaning it will essentially be funded by the taxpayer.

U.K. Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries Resigns

Manori Ravindran International Editor U.K. Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has formally resigned, less than a year into her role. Dorries told ITV News that she’d been offered to stay in the role by the country’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss, but decided to pass “after a lot of soul-searching.” It’s still unclear whether Dorries will relinquish her position as a member of parliament. Dorries was named culture secretary in a major cabinet shake up in September 2021. She replaced Oliver Dowden. Her time as culture secretary has been fraught with a string of gaffes. Last year, in a government select committee hearing, Dorries — who has been supporting the bid to privatize “It’s a Sin” broadcaster Channel 4 — appeared not to know how the U.K. broadcaster is funded, stating that it was “in receipt of public money,” when in fact Channel 4 is publicly owned but funded by advertising.
