Omitting to mention that the LibDems also increased their vote share in the 2024 GE. They got 12.2% of the vote and 72 seats. ReformUK got 14.3% of the votes but only 5 seats!

Yes. So, if based on vote share, I would expect Lib Dems to get nearly as much airtime as Reform. They don't. Greens should get half as much as Reform. They get nowhere near that. If on seats, I would expect Greens to get as much airtime as Reform. The BBC is definitely entranced by the far-right.
Lib Dems have won more council by-elections since May 2025 elections than any other party but given the news media I expect most people wouldn’t realise that.
On a fairer voting system I would have voted Lib Dem in last GE
The media, especially the BBC, have their own political narrative and only devote large amount of time things that fit it. I understand regarding voting. It shows the sad state our democracy is in that you feel you can't vote for you want to, but feel obliged to vote to keep the worst out.
