A former BBC board member who quit last week has shared his resignation letter with BBC News, shedding new light on the events that led up to the departures of the corporation's director general and CEO of news.
Shumeet Banerji resigned on Friday, citing "governance issues" but the full reasons were not known until now.
In his damning letter, he said news boss Deborah Turness was told that "she did not have the confidence of a majority of the board".
But, Banerji wrote, he was "not invited to any meeting where a matter of such importance was to be discussed".
The details of the letter come a day after the corporation's chair, Samir Shah, told a select committee of MPs that he believed he had consulted Banerji, and the pair had had a "26 minute call".
