While BBC reporting of Reform and Farage's tittle-tattle is frequent, the BBC fails to report on the serious incompetence of Reform when they are in power at the local level. It shouldn't be YouTube's responsibility.

Why isn't Labour clearing out the Tory appointed fascist propagandists and reforming the press generally?

We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.
