BBC World at One just described DOGE as the "newly created and controversial Department of Government Efficiency"

It didn't mention that DOGE is not an actual fkn government "department".

It has no statutory powers and has not been sanctioned by Congress.

At least BBC remains consistent. We can rely on it to be willfully wrong.

Since when did facts matter to @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social ? They stopped even trying in 2016. Oh but they have a nice advert telling us it's Our BBC and we can trust them. It's a tragic joke.

Accuracy ceased to be an essential element of the BBC’s coverage some time ago.

It disappeared holding hands with objectivity and depth.

The other day the Today programme talked about Trumps gentle comments on taking over Canada! Gentle? Really?

Almost right.
It's not a new department for the reasons you said.
Trump renamed an exiting department, something a President can do.
Not sure it also requires Parliament approval for the changed name.
