They should just appoint Dido Harding and be done with it.

Paul Dacre should be banned from reapplying to be chair of media regulator Ofcom because he failed the interview process on the first attempt, according to the Conservative MP who runs an influential select committee.
Downing Street has been trying to appoint the former Daily Mail editor to run Ofcom’s board since last summer, where he would have ultimate oversight of broadcast regulation and social media rules. However, earlier this year Dacre unexpectedly failed the vetting process for the £142,500 job at the final interview stage, with those on the panel considering him to be “unappointable” as an impartial chairman.
Rather than accept the panel’s verdict and choose one of the other successful candidates, ministers decided to restart the entire recruitment process to allow Dacre a second attempt at securing the prize. This new process has stretched out over the summer. The Guardian revealed there have been issues with finding credible people willing to sit on the new interview panel given it is widely-perceived to purely exist as a way of stitching up the job for Dacre.
