The Government, as I understand it anyway, have a fair few appointments they could make to the BBC Governors now and in the near future. While I'm sure they won't be as blatant as Bozo appointing Gibb, I think the discontent with Mason-ism goes a fair bit wider than Labour partisans, and we might see a few changes. Nandy is pretty low profile in this stuff, but the standards committee has already been reformed with a weakening of Gibb's power. I would be surprised if we don't see a few more changes to improve things.

That's so plausible

It's also to do with them being relatively progressive and having found a path in the Budget that didn't cause "war" with backbenchers or send the markets crashing. They're still annoyed that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng did that, and not Starmer-Reeves.
