And are you going to address who they do share employees with? It's a party that's not left-wing.

That's factual. The rest "not a great article", "North London left wing orthodoxy", and "BBC is insufficiently pro-Brexit" is vague, feelings not fact-based.

The BBC also had Gavyn Davies as a chairman.

"Gavyn Davies ... is a former Goldman Sachs partner who was the chairman of the BBC from 2001 until 2004"
