The Spin
Left narrative
Sharp was right to have gone and should've left sooner. This story is yet another example of the toxic Johnson and Tory hierarchy attempting to jockey right-wing supporters within what should be independent selection processes. For the BBC to remain a trusted source, Sharp had to go.
Right narrative
While this incident was undeniably an oversight on Sharp's part, it isn't a deliberate case of cronyism as portrayed by the media. Sharp has taken accountability for his error by stepping down, and that should be the end of this so-called scandal.
