The BBC has become a mouthpiece for Reform and will help win them the next election

Watching Laura K this morning shamelessly talking over everything Yvette Cooper was saying and then interview Robert Jenrick as if he were a key member of the (proper) shadow cabinet and barely challenge him at all. Why was he even given airtime this morning? I think she and Chris Mason, particularly, are on the wrong side of history and will regret it when Farage gets in, abolishes the BBC and they have to beg for jobs at GB News. The excessive amount of time the BBC gives to Reform and their endless criticism of Labour is so blatant.

the Lib Dem’s might have some good personalities - I’ve barely seen them on tv to judge. Just endless Farage who has an obnoxious personality. Why are we beholden to gobby men? Why can’t we have calm considered intelligent people? Because they don’t make good tv? Are we that daft that we want entertainment more than leadership?

I think Johnson proved that a good number of people in this country want some kind of entertainment from the leadership, sadly, @Newgirls

I wish!

Yep zonder for sure. Must be a weird psychology there - like trying to be mates with the confident kids at school. As if in some way that will work out. We should choose the calm clever people but here we are …

There is barely any point interviewing a Labour Minister - they will have a different opinion next week.

You wouldn't know, they barely get to speak if they're on the LK show.

Well it reported this week that:

“Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wishes the party "hadn't bothered" to take minority control of Worcestershire County Council, because of its financial problems.”

So it’s not that much of a mouthpiece. Oh diddums , Nigel, running the local council hard work, is it?!

In any case, let him spout. He’s making an enormous fool of himself.

He's done a massive U turn on the Iran war, too. I think Reform have peaked and are on the descent, which is being massively assisted by them picking up failed Tories.
