Liberal Democrat. Brexit was stupid. If trying to understand & help your fellow citizens is wrong, then I'm wrong.

Give him or her a very hard nudge.

Ed is right. The BBC needs to reconsider its approach to Farage and Reform. The corporation has a duty to report all sides of a discussion - that doesn’t mean making special allowances for one party. It risks losing the trust of even more licence fee payers.
The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

This is good news, reversing a brazenly partisan change by the previous government.
Whatever the merits of First Past the Post for parliamentary elections, it is manifestly unsuitable for mayoral elections, where the winner really does take all.

🔔 CONFIRMED: the Government is abandoning First Past the Post... for mayoral and PCC elections.
This is the first acknowledgement we’ve seen from the Government that First Past the Post is not fit for purpose in an age of multi-party politics.
Mayoral elections should be just the first step.

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?
