Given that they don’t do that for any other party (even the government), it’s hard to conclude anything other than tacit support

Hmmm it appears I can see lapel pins on that fascist and also poppies making political statements. Those Union Jacks are also being used for political purposes. Where's the blurring or reformating BBC? Don't tell me you're just bigoted transphobes and mouthpieces of a conservative establishment 😲

They just give the fuckers freedom to lie and bullshit unchallenged

This is partially to do with the hollowing out of BBC newsrooms and their desperation to fill airtime. BBC news 24 should be closed to save money and the journalism budget increased for regional news.

might as well write a strongly worded letter... It's WAY beyond complaining to the BBC... straight to Westminster is where the complaints should go... there's a secretary in need of her arse kicking!

If only we had a f@cking Culture Secretary 🙄

please complain to the BBC - its straightforward

This is absolutely intolerable. How is this impartial? When is the Government going to grasp the nettle and remove all the political appointees at the BBC replacing them with appointees based on ability and a sworn commitment to the old impartiality? The BBC might also then recover some viewers.

It's not as if they were just waiting for some weather to happen either..!

When the previous DG said that the BBC should represent the views of Reform Ltd Supporters, he wasn't Fucking kidding, was he ... !

I don't want to keep paying TV licence for this. I've seen family members get brainwashed by GB News in real-time, I don't need the BBC to turn into a second, more popular GB News.

I bet Sky are doing it too. Both shameless.

Absolutely disgusted. I would cancel our TV licence if it was up to me.

I think the BBC has missed the memo that Farage is a busted flush

On the plus side, the BBC’s support doesn’t seem to be doing Reform any favours, if the polls are to be believed.

And then get those bollix promos about trusting them and their news. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

Genuine WTAF moment. 😮

All very Trumpian talking 💩

A fucking Google guy runs the bbc

Completely exhausting, particularly when their complaints procedure is not fit for purpose either. The BBC are in a death spiral; revenues decreasing, costs up, an increasingly apathetic / disaffected audience + management who’ve pledged allegiance to an unpopular far-right party

The radio 4 interview this morning was pretty much a party political broadcast for Reform. Tice spouting garbage almost unchallenged.

TBF there are more Reform MPs than people who were in the audience

Chicken & egg justifications, coverage leads to popularity, incessant focus on polling etc. The rise & disgraced/incompetent fall of Mayor Boris should've been a salutory lesson but then supported diminishing returns until tories ran out of leaders & then banked on foreign-funded Farage. Woeful.

I pay my licence fee and get to see Traitors.

FBC the Farage Broadcasting Channel.

bsky.app/profile/paro...

Was saying same on Sunday when my lad and I saw Jenrick on #bbc why all the air time?!

BBC News is no longer fit for purpose. Avoid.

Discuss? No thank you even thinking about him is wasting to many brain cells I could be using for more important thoughts like watching paint dry.

It’s a disgrace.

41 minutes to the fan of Liz Truss’s budget!?

I believe our Powys LibDem MP had lots to say when they hosted Question Time in Brecon a couple of weeks ago and didn’t even bother to invite him. The Refuk Senedd guy (defected from Tories, of course!) was there but not the MP! What the actual fuck?!?

I'm sure they will offer the same opportunity to the LibDems and the Greens... once Hell has frozen over.

I wonder if this is made worse by cutbacks. The regional press' propensity to stuff titles with press releases increased the more journos were sacked.

Sickening

Lisa Nandy is the most useless culture secretary she lets the Goebbels at the bbc run rings around her.

Complaints incoming BBC.

That only a handful of people went to...

Quit 6music because I couldn't handle the pro-Farage news updates every 30 mins. Plenty of their listeners are not that politically engaged so it was (probably still is) an industrial scale brain boiling exercise. Wild because if Farage gets in the BBC will quickly follow the NHS onto the bonfire.

You can't complain to Ofcom without first making a direct complaint to the BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp... Can anyone provide the exact timing for reference? TIA.

My license fee is soon up for renewal. If the BBC thinks I'm going to help keep funding their pro-Reform racist fascist propaganda they can do one.

I don't pay my telly licence to listen to that crap, shocking #BBC

I sent off a complaint about this, for all the good it will do.

Just watched Chris Mason discussing Andy Burnham wanting closer ties to the EU. He was getting near to the end and he hadn't mentioned Reform but I'm afraid he couldn't help himself and had to tell us what Nigel thought about it.

At this point I think we have to assume that a Labour government approves of the BBC's support for the far right, though I can't for the life of me work out why. It's a staggering betrayal by Nandy & co. At this stage I'd happily de-fund BBC News.

The BBC is just the UK version of Fox, the mouthpiece for a fascist party. The BBC needs defunding, made subscription only, see how long it survives then.

Total abandonment of broadcast standards and fair representation of all political parties. Give the same coverage to Greens, Lib Dems and progresive parties - I dare you BBC!

His interview on Today this morning was decidedly gentle

Personally I find party political broadcasts a turn off even though I am very interested in politics...maybe that might be a possibility to consider!

I've given up on the BBC News . If there was a referendum on its future I would vote to scrap it entirely.

BBC news made Farage and continue to push him at every opportunity.

Chair of BBC has to go - long, LONG overdue

Two words. Robbie Gibb. Lisa Nandy needs to get rid.

It's a disgrace.

How do we the license fee payers get a straight answer about this blatant misuse of our money?

It's a disgrace - they must be terrified of what Reform would do to the BBC should they get into power. But spoiler alert, Reform will bin them however much they suck up to them.

Turn that shite off and cancel the license fee

After defending TV Licensing ever since the 90s, I am edging SO close to just uninstalling iPlayer from my PS5, and canceling/picking a fight with them, recently. I'm so fed up with funding this once great, but now very broken institution

Anyone representing Reform & I’ll be switching off

Cancelled my TV licence many years ago, purely down to the right-wing bias since the GBNews guy took over things. I’m thinking this was a good choice.

Disgusting. Labour obviously want a Reform government next.

The #BBC is run by ex public schoolboys who were taught entitlement, racism & antisemitism from an early age. It’s why #BBC relentlessly promotes entitled, racist, antisemitic workshy cunts relentlessly.

I’ve been so bristly at any mention of the defund the BBC nonsense. I really wish the BBC execs cared about its future as much. Why would anyone look up to / defend an institution that’s given up on the common good? It’s incredibly sad and worrying if they lose the status of source of truth.

I hope all the other parties complain vociferously!

That’s our licence fee being wasted yet again on that little gob shite! Effing BBC!!!!!

Maybe she’s got the gig to do the voices on the new CBBC show Nandy Pandy.

The BBCNews board, production team and presenters all desperately want a fascist government in the UK. There is no possible alternative explanation for the public funded national news service to behave like GBNews on steroids. Shameful. Heads should roll.

How can we find out who exactly is driving this?

Abysmal

Haven't paid for over a decade. That was initially because the BBC do absolutely fuck all for the people of the Isle of Man but we still have to pay exactly the same fee as everyone else. Now they've morphed into a full on right wing mouthpiece they can take a hop, skip and fuck off.

The BBC is beginning to look unhinged. Reminding me of Liz Truss. Out of touch with reality.

This has to be investigated and challenged. Where is the minister for media? Oh its still Lisa Nandy and shes to busy making sure the antisemitism is beaten out of the Clangers a Camberwick Green, by the way Lisa have the Banana Splits been proscribed yet?

There is something very wrong at the BBC. They report voters’ views re the EU based on a simplistic interpretation of the 2016 referendum. That motivations for voting out in 2016 were quite varied and that ten years of experience and voter churn might have altered attitudes is routinely ignored.

It's what you pay your licence fee for. 😉

It's because the BBC are very very racist, just like most of the media in the world.

Disgusting and unacceptable

Fill your boots. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

Did the #BBC ever extend the same generosity to, say, the Green Party or the LibDems?

Turkeys voting for Christmas in the useless belief that if they blow smoke up their fundament Reform won't cancel their licence fee IF they gain power....

Shame on the BBC

I fail to see why we should give a shiny shite about ReFUKs economic plan. More importantly why does the BBC think we should give a shiny shite?

This is utterly scandalous. I hope the public see this for what it is - naked BBC bias. I also hope the BBC are effectively giving Farage and Reform enough rope to hang themselves, by showing the public just how shallow, populist and impractical their policies actually are.

Appalling and now blatant bias towards Reform by our BBC newsroom … guided by right winger Robbie Gibb and encouraged by the new DG presumably. Just what is Lisa Nandy doing all day? Get this sorted Labour government! Or move aside.

Bias in plain sight.

This bias just gets worse. Makes me boil with rage.

Have complained.. see how much notice they take !

Totally agree.

Agree @labouruk.bsky.social

100% Nandy could fix this in a day. As much use as a marzipan thingy.

100% agree!

Easily done now Labour are in the government, they only need to start dropping hints about scrapping the licence fee.

I would have said Lisa Nandy is asleep at the wheel But I suspect she’s not even alive

Thank heavens Nandy has her finger on the pulse and is throwing lots of effort into....tackling anti-social behaviour in Wigan(*) www.wigantoday.net/your-world/l... (*)Not saying that's not important obviously, but ffs Minister

Absolute disgrace. The PM doesn’t get this kind of coverage

Disgraceful

Who is responsible for allowing this to happen? Is it just Lisa Nandy? Is it stoppable? Complaints don't work? 🤬

R4m

This is why I haven’t listened to the BBC for 10 years. Or watched their political/news programmes.

Farage is the BBC’s creation. His success is entirely down to them.

🎯

It's long past the time when Lisa Nandy should be doing something about The complete failure of Ofcom to do their job. BBC bias towards Reform, and Farage in particular, is beyond a joke. @pauldaviesmp.bsky.social

😡

BBC News is cooked. It’s just so sad having to witness it.

This was their reply. They even admitted Reform hadn't explained themselves, but posted that headline anyway! '.headline did not make sufficiently clear that these were Reform UK proposals and did not adequately attribute the claimed £50bn saving or explain what the proposed savings would entail.'

Why? The simplest answer is usually the best. Because they're BORED and attracted by energy... Just as the simplest explanation of Trump's fealty is that he's SCARED of Putin...

Taking press questions: who’s the first they call on…. Christopher Hope, political editor of GB News… that Farage has a show on. BBC - you are platforming an Orban-style circus and pretending it’s legitimate.

unacceptable. BBC is just far-right propaganda. switch it off.

John McAndrew: Ex-GB News editorial director John McAndrew joins BBC John McAndrew, who was editorial director at GB News upon its launch.

There are a number of ways to contact Lisa Nandy and her Department. It’s easy to find them in an online search!

Chris Mason right now.

It feels weirdly like they are trying to cosy up in somw.weird wat to GB News. Note also quite how often Newsnight features GB News presenters as guests

Serious questions that need to be answered.

Maybe don’t pay the licence fee? Oh it’s state sanctioned you have to pay…well don’t watch it…

KILL THE TV TAX.

The BBC needs to be cut loose from the licence fee, it’s offensive having to pay it when you see this. They keep asking us , what have the BBC ever done for us ? I would ask a different question, what use are the BBC ?

Did they film the tumbleweed blowing through the hall?

I didn’t know reform was voted into No 10 or is the Opposition party. This disgraceful flag waving by the BBC continues daily with no challenge.

www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

I’m in my 60s and have loved the BBC all my life. I used to say that I would be happy to pay twice the cost of the license fee. It’s been there for me in the darkest hours and at the best of times. I’m done with it. It can’t be trusted. I take absolutely no pleasure in writing this.
