Considering how much the BBC love to give Reform airtime I see no mention of their plans to scrap the equality act on Day 1 and hence remove all womens rights, all the rights of the disabled, all the protections based on sexuality and race and protections for pregnant women and parents.

So there we have it - Reform officially want to repeal the Equalities Act and remove protections for women, for the disabled, for veterans, for all sexualities and for all races. On Day One.
And they don't want to do it because it's best for Britain - they just want to copy Trump.

Pretty sure Wuthering Heights would be getting a lot better reviews if they’d used my theme tune that I sent them.
Yes, I know I’m just singing Wuthering Heights to the tune of Blankety Blank but it’s catchy as fuck and will let everyone know they’re in for a good time at the flicks.

But we won't offer a vaccination for Covid for kids despite it being one of the most devastating illnesses of modern times..
Or admit that minimising vaccination for Covid has meant a weakening of uptake of all vaccinations

Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

It is absolute and utter neglect to let this come this close to the wire just as the US has let most of its overseas broadcasting shutter.
And another bites the dust?
The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.
