So in other words, the right wing chair of ofcom have a free pass to an extremely biased right wing media outlet because it aligns with his views. Jesus Christ. And he says the BBC doesn’t cover immigration? What?? How can someone do disconnected from reality have had such an important job?

    Majority?

    Reform received 14.3% of the vote in the last genral election. Sarah Pochin won her seat on 38.7% of the electorate. There biggest council seat (Tenbury) win was 45%.

    None of that is a “majority”. There are a significant number of people who have Reform views - but a majority of the UK certainly don’t.

      Sadly the difference between majority and plurality is rarely observed, and one can always weasel around things by lumping together larger, more nebulous groups that conveniently fit what you say or, better yet, have not been surveyed.
