BBC actively supporting Reform?

No idea of the veracity of this source but it certainly supports what everyone has already noted, the disproportionate amount of airtime given to a very small party in contrast to eg the Green Party. Honestly, I despair. The UK seems on some sort of inevitable slide into fascism.

Get used to it. Europe is swinging to the right. Reform did increadibly well at the recent local elections and are parking their tanks on Labour's lawn. This is why they are getting more coverage than the Greens.

The BBC are always accused of being biased towards one party or another, normally to the detriment of whatever party or movement the person believing them to be biased supports.

For me the BBC has been pro-Labour for decades and shows no sign of moving to a more neutral ground.

It’s not actively supporting Reform, the BBC and other media outlets are reporting on a political force that is currently disrupting politics in a way that hasn’t been seen in my lifetime. If the Greens were disrupting in the same way then they’d get the same level of coverage.

And I’m sorry to bring more doom and gloom to everyone. This kind of thing activates my anxiety.
