The silence is deafening as BBC studiously avoids reporting on @greenparty.org.uk swelling in popularity

Yet they did 3 reports today re Farage as they pursue their licence payer funded Reform PR campaign 😡

Screenshot of three reports done over the last five hours about by the BBC, who aren’t biased at all in favour of reform unless of course you think constantly amplifying their message and giving them airtime and PR for free is bias

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.
