Nice to see that the new Culture Secretary wants the BBC licence fee abolished. I hope she gets on with it.
“Speaking in 2019, she said: “Personally I think the licence fee is an unfair tax and should be scrapped all together but that is a different debate.””

Not saying she’s likely to have changed her mind, but context is important. Personal views expressed a few years ago don’t translate immediately into policy proposals. Sometimes they don’t translate at all, because some things are too big for one minister to change by fiat.
