    If this was any other party (well maybe except the Tories) there would be non stop headlines about this. But the media give Reform a free pass every single time. How many people have been suspended/removed from the party so far?

      It’s because it’s expected of them and is therefore not sensational. They (or the people advising and funding them) are blatantly copying the American right. They are wannabes of a malign foreign political project, and their party is packed to the gills with sex offenders and scammers desperate for attention.

          Yeah, we hold the media to higher standards than they hold themselves to. The modern right has recognised that, deliberately inserted itself into that gap, and is owning it.

          The only liberal solution is for everyone to upgrade their critical thinking. The cultural shift towards cynicism is a version/manifestation of that.
