The Mail on Sunday reports that the BBC is leaving itself open to charges of hypocrisy by asking newsreader George Alagiah to step down as a patron of the Fairtrade Foundation while allowing Today host Evan Davis to sit on the advisory board of the Social Market Foundation.

The thinktank has the slogan: “Marrying markets with social justice.”
