We started with an Open Letter of Feb 2023 questioning it for defaming as antisemitic the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership - see item 1 below. The BBC handled this as a formal complaint that was subsequently escalated to the broadcasting regulator, Ofcom. It was a lengthy process that revealed weaknesses in both complaints handling and regulation by Ofcom - see item 2.

​

On 28/3/25, we submitted an FOI request to ascertain whether the BBC had been fair in providing access to the different groups that seek to influence its reporting on Israel/Palestine. The BBC made an initial response on April 11th, but we followed up by demanding much greater clarity - see the third to the fifth items below. Eventually on Feb 19th 2026, and after further correspondence, the BBC came back with a response showing massive disparity in the number of meetings its Executive Committee had held with advocates for Israel and those for Palestine, 9:1 in the period Nov 2023 to Dec 2024. Declassified UK published this astonishing finding, and other information collected by CAMPAIN, in an article dated 16th April 2026 - see item 6 below

We also encouraged supporters to answer a BBC survey designed to help shape its future, and hope to publish more on this theme in the future.
