I have always said tgat Farage and Reform have virtually been created by the media, which likes drama and polarities.
Today on the BBC news site there are SEVEN separate items about Farage and Reform.
Farage has achieved nothing ever, and yet here is our national news channel feeding his ego.

Channel 4 are good for investigative journalists, also independent media. The BBC are a waste of TV licence money. Also Channel 4 did a good exposure of royals charging various charities money.
Can see how bbc is not a good trusted news source not giving all the truth.

I would have thought it's more of a concerted effort to get rid of it.

I couldn't disagree more, it is the utter failure of the other parties that have cr3ated reform.

I agree. There seems to be a deep well of discontent in the country that the other parties don't seem to recognise. Farage is dreadful but I quite like Offord who knows what he's talking about, is down to earth and from a lowly background but has really done well by his own efforts. That said, I'd never vote Reform but see their value as an irritant/stimulant to other parties.

I don't think that you're likely to see this on the mainstream media.
