OK so now that Reform UK are down to the same amount of MPs as the Green Party there really is no excuse for not giving them the same amount of screen time on current affairs shows.

They'll platform Farage until the audience itself tries to garrott him live on camera, at which point they will be begging him to come back on for a repeat performance, but he will be refusing.
I've said it elsewhere I think Greens should protest more on this issue. Even joint protests with other parties that don't get media coverage. Anything to disrupt this Labour vs Tory vs Reform shitshow. We are crying out for an alternative to these three who all look the same on so many issues.
Greens offer logical and sensible solutions to many of our problems.
Reform hate “foreigners”.
BBC et al have no time for explanation. They want argument and dissension.
Oh, but they'll find the excuse. The ratio of votes among specific demographics, or the number of votes overall, or current polling... they always have one ready.
Got to balance out the right wing Labour MP and the right wing Tory MP by having a right wing Reform MP. Can't have a centre-left Green on there, that would skew the right wing balance.
I hope you lit a cigar with a crisp £50 note and blew the smoke right back in there faces before riding off in your stretched Tesla. Everyone knows the woke liberal elite mind virus controls the MSM that’s why we love tax cuts and injustice so much and how Farage gets so much airtime.
There was a tax dodging farmer called Lowe
Whose manure was making Reform grow
But being mates with Farage
Was simply a mirage
As real farmers know "you reap what you sow"
There once was a grifter called Nigel.
Who wanted a fascist revival.
He had one ball to be blunt.
Which made him a cunt.
His party don't have a chance of survival.
757 vs 72. So based on that, yes. But we know it's based on who gets the best TV ratings and Farage gets people viewing wether you love him or hate him. It's entertainment.
Just one excuse left; lazy or inept producers who would rather call up Farage of some gimp from Tufton St. rather than do the hard work of finding people with actual relevant knowledge
One thing the Greens should strongly consider doing is something similar to Alex's Nunn's weekly graphs of the ideology of guests on the BBC's sunday politics shows.
But with graphs comparing Reform guests vs Green guests each week on all BBC outlets. Or at least for TV.

Realising that Reform is just another failed experiment, Farage will defect to the Tories to take over leadership.
And it should not be like that!

If there's one thing the Kremlin or far right like the Heritage Foundation would do is sell the idea of "both siding" and elbow out experts.
And here we are.
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed...

They're still keep giving him and his ilk plenty of air time.
Suffocating the bellends with a lack of airtime isn't going to happen while broadcasters still believe it gets ratings
I only hearing about this now?

However, I think greens may have a lot more councillors.

The media have bias, yes. But they’ll also become much more interested in the L when it has something dramatic to say.
