Original Note:
The Prime Minister, then Boris Johnson, does not personally appoint the chairman of the BBC as claimed in the tweet. A process is followed as per the BBC's royal charter, including a recommendation by the assessment panel and scrutiny by a parliamentary committee. https://publicappointments.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/appointment/chair-british-broadcasting-corporation-bbc/#:~:text=As%20per%20the%20BBC%20Royal,followed%20in%20making%20the%20appointment.
