These aren’t anti-politicians, they’re the worst kind of politicians. No answers (remember these muppets still have no immigration policy at all), in the business of exploiting our country’s challenges never solving them

The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.
I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.
