Judge Fanning imposed a five-month jail term but this runs alongside her present prison recall term, which does not expire until November of next year.

The response was ready to go. After furious headlines in a British newspaper accused the BBC of institutional bias over a misleading edit of a speech by President Trump, top executives at the British public broadcaster knew they had to act quickly.
