I see Steve Baker MP on TV saying making Paul Dacre Ofcom chair is 'just the same' as previous Labour governments appointing Ofcom chairs.
Here's details of Ofcom chairs since its inception. Am really struggle to pull out partisans to fit Baker's narrative.
False balance, much?

The Conservatives want to increase the party limit on general election spending from the present £19.5m to about £33m, and abolish the electoral commission that oversees campaigning. #torycorruption https://t.co/LZfh7Ozqky
It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Tory MPs have just voted down a legal bid to 'protect the NHS' in any post-Brexit trade deals https://t.co/SuKAkJtOSs
Today Dido Harding defended paying more than 900 management consultants £1,000 a day
Today Nadhim Zahawi said the Labour vote on extending £20 a week benefit uplift is a political stunt
Disgraceful.
Tory MPs just voted down protections for the NHS in trade deals. It means the NHS is on the table in future deals – ready to be opened-up & sold off to US corporations.
You can't trust the Tories with the NHS.
Just some of the money Johnson's Gov't is throwing at private test & trace! "Contact tracing programme employs 2,300 management consultants-average pay £7,000 each day"!
That's £16.1 million each day!
That's £112. 7 million each week!
That's £5.8bn a year! https://t.co/vhtPCqiiIO
It's almost as though failed phone company toff boss Dido Harding wasn't the rational choice to lead a 'world beating' track and trace system

Non-essential: £20 a-week Universal Credit uplift for struggling individuals.
Essential: £1000 a-day for each of Dido Harding's private consultants

Why does Dido Harding think that Test & Trace needs expensive 'consultants' instead of more frontline workers delivering the service? I mean what exactly do the 'consultants - some 900 of them making 1K per day - actually do?
