Samira Ahmed verdict further damages BBC's reputation on equal pay

Samira Ahmed’s employment tribunal victory is the latest blow to the BBC in a gender pay gap row that has engulfed the corporation since it was forced to reveal the salary details of its top earners in 2017.

Published at the behest of the government under the BBC’s new royal charter, the list showed that only a third of its 96 top earners were women and the top seven were all men.
