Not directly no but in recent years changes were made to the BBC board and since then a disproportionate number of BBC higher-ups have active ties to the Tory party and some have even stated that they joined to intentionally cancel programming that is critical of the Tory party, Brexit and Trump.

There is also the issue of BBC staff admitting that they purposefully allowed biased broadcasts to occur frequently during the 2014 Scottish Independence campaign because BBC staff felt like "We had a duty to defend the integrity of the Union".

Only someone who hasn’t followed anything that’s happened there in the last 12 years would say that. Richard Sharp, Laura Kuenssberg, Fiona Bruce, Robbie Gibb, Tim Davie.
