What is it with the BBC
They have spent years ignoring the Liberal Democrats and the Green party
But if the Reform party speak a word, they rush to cover the story and amplify the message from a party with 5 MPs

Darzi review concludes that Britain’s pandemic response was among the worst and the NHS had been ‘seriously weakened’, leading the NHS to reduced its “routine healthcare activity by a far greater percentage than other health systems” in many key areas during the Covid crisis.
It WAS overwhelmed.

The Trump rally used Foo Fighters song “My Hero” to welcome RFK Jr on stage.
Not only is the band taking legal action, but they’re going to donate any royalties from use of the song to the Harris/Walz campaign.
Outstanding.
