Well, they DID lean left, but now they've been pretty much bought by the tories and their funding depends on sucking up to them.

- gadders 5y agoThey have always leant left, and still do. They just didn't like Jeremy Corbyn much. Being anti-Corbyn is not being anti-Labour.
- thorin 5y agoI'm not sure they like Kier Starmer that much either, I don't think Corbyn is really relevant now anyway, unless you are strongly for or against momentum. I'm thinking more of holding the government to account at the forefront of the BBC news page (it may happen on radio 4, but not many people see that relatively). During/since covid BBC has acted as a communication funnel directly and without criticism which would not have happened in the 80s/90s.
