Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?
BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.
Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

Who better to represent the interests of the working man than Danny Kruger, he being an old Etonian son of a wealthy property developer & Dame Prue Leith, as well as having been political secretary to old Etonian Boris Johnson.
