Culture secretary attacks ‘nepotism’ and ‘groupthink’ at broadcaster in interview at Tory conference
Nadine Dorries has labelled the BBC an institution riven by bias and staffed by people “whose mum and dad worked there”, despite Boris Johnson urging colleagues to dial down culture war rhetoric.
In an outspoken appearance at the Conservative conference, the new culture secretary condemned what she called “groupthink” in the BBC and arts more widely because of a predominance of privately educated people reliant on nepotism.
