The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Israel forced the crew of the #FreedomFlotilla to throw their phones into the sea.
This looks like piracy, as well as breaching international law.
They have illegally kidnapped the crew of a ship sailing peacefully in international waters, seizing their boat & their property.

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW
