Nandy proposes shake-up for BBC
Labour leadership contender Lisa Nandy has proposed a major shake-up of the BBC to stop decisions being made "by a small group of men behind a desk" in London.
The Wigan MP vying to succeed Jeremy Corbyn suggested she would overhaul the ownership of the broadcaster and also ensure commissioning decisions for the BBC and Channel 4 are moved out of the capital.
Ms Nandy and her rivals, Sir Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long-Bailey, were taking part in the final hustings over the weekend before members start voting for the new leader on Monday.
The leadership race comes as the BBC faces a potentially drastic overhaul by the Tory Government while also coming under fire from some on the left of the political spectrum.
The Government's hinted at replacing the licence fee with a tiered scubscription when the BBC's charter is next renewed.
