This glee over Reform being a 'big thing' is so symbolic of the collapse of our UK media. Reform are corrupt, inept buffoons who are happily ushering in the Far Right and Putin. Can we start calling it that, please? #Newsnight - ThreadSky

Reform are a joke. Hollow men..etc.

Very true. But as we've seen, men like them can cause so much damage.

tangocat.bsky.social•18 days ago

True. That's the part that chills me.

Me too, Kat. I shudder to think of the chaos.

Can we start calling them four star? Or the fascist party as they are obviously them reborn.

They never should have had the platform they've been given. Thanks BBC & GB

This is precisely why we don't watch the BBC Television or listen to radio 4 any longer. The longer term - to give a chancer like farage airtime. I wish Labour/current elected party would try to give hope instead they bring pain and suffering which only plays into the right.

He's car crash TV. The media gave him attention as click bait. Him having power would hurt literally everyone
