Whilst the BBC is impartial and independent and whatever etc. Key positions have been packed with Tory Party supporters/donors/friends.
It's no surprise they toe the government line, especially for their fellow Tories

Non-Brit here. Can someone explain to me what makes up a Tory, and why?

For a more serious answer, "tory" is the nickname for a member of the Conservative party, the UK's major centre-right party. Much like in the US, they've been shifting further right in the past few decades and focusing more on "culture war" BS.
