The BBC has made a significant commitment to improve its culture, processes and standards. Last year, following an independent culture review, we set out the behavioural expectations for everyone who works with or for the BBC and we were clear action would be taken if these were not met.

Lord Charles Brocket, who is known for his appearance on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including two counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault.

Prof Stephen Cushion stated that news reporting failing to differentiate between the UK's devolved governments neglects audiences' constitutional needs. He emphasized that issues like housing and healthcare are governed differently in Wales, which is often invisible in UK-wide news.

The newspaper claimed Tice had avoided paying corporation tax on the company's "multimillion-pound profits for most of 2018 to 2021" through gaining "rare legal status" for it as a real estate investment trust (Reit). The status gives firms a grace period in which they are exempt from corporation tax, according to the paper, and instead issue a portion of the company's earnings to shareholders who are taxed individually.

Lord Mandelson's lawyers said police officers arrested the former ambassador to the US at his London home on Monday because of a "baseless" suggestion he was planning to "take up permanent residence abroad".

Keir Starmer has opened a formal investigation into a Cabinet Office minister involved in falsely accusing journalists of having links to pro-Russian propaganda. The prime minister's decision follows revelations in the Guardian that Josh Simons, who was running the thinktank Labour Together at the time, was also involved in telling British intelligence officials that another journalist was living with the daughter of a former adviser to Jeremy Corbyn.

Constance has been given a written reprimand and told to make a statement to parliament to update the official record. The row dates back to September, when the justice secretary quoted Prof Jay - who is overseeing a review of the evidence on grooming gangs in Scotland - in parliament and told MSPs that the expert did not support further grooming gang inquiries. However, Prof Jay later contacted the government to clarify that her remarks did not refer to inquiries in Scotland.

She told Sky News: "I think the Prime Minister has a lot of questions to answer, and not just him, but his chief of staff, and all the people in No 10 who pushed this appointment. "I think it is a national embarrassment. There are many people who should have been given that job, or who should have been interviewed for that job, and they didn't get a chance."

Dan Norris, MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was suspended from the Labour Party in April and has not attended Parliament since his release on police bail nine months ago. A petition claiming he cannot "fully support" his constituency and demanding his resignation has attracted more than 2,000 signatures. In his first statement since his arrest, Mr Norris said he continues "to represent" his constituents as well as "staying across local and national developments".
