Well that was a headline hugger!! Ed Davy urging KS to get out of the doom and gloom atmosphere he is creating, that was among the topics in his headline closing speech today. . interesting as I really never even knew it was happening ( the conference that is).

Conference season (no, not that one with the Wembley final (😇).
I caught the speech earlier today, thought it was decent. Being just after a very good performance at the General Election it was more reflective and celebratory.
Touched on social care and and Europe amongst others, looking to be supportive where possible and oppose where necessary. Still targeting Conservatives rather than Labour at the moment.

It is indeed interesting that a party with 72 MPs gets a hell of a lot less publicity and air time than a party of 6 MPs. I suppose having a flamboyant and provocative headline grabbing leader who is rarely in the country and has been more times to the USA recently than he has to his constituency is far more important than substance and common sense. |

"flamboyant and provocative headline grabbing leader" Proboard swear filter is working well, I see. 😇 |

Maybe it's because more people voted for Reform than for the LibDems? |

Maybe it's because more people voted for Reform than for the LibDems? Good try Nobby, just under 600,000 more but that does not explain the disproportionate amount of air time given to The Reform Party Limited as opposed to the Liberal Democrats. They should get similar airtime but of course they don't as Ed Davey isn't provocative enough. By the way, your hero Nigel has a new excuse for not holding surgeries - Nigel Farage has said he is not holding in-person surgeries in his constituency over fears the public will “flow through the door with knives in their pockets”. The Reform UK leader said he had been advised not to accommodate the “old-style” physical meetings between MPs and their constituents in his seat of Clacton.
Asked why would the people of Clacton want to flow through the door with knives in their pockets, he said: “Well they did in Southend. They murdered David Amess, and he was a far less controversial figure than me.” Other MPs just have security but obviously not good enough for our Nige. Well I suppose at least he says he now has an office and of course can Zoom his constituents from the USA, Hong Kong, Brussels, Malaya, or wherever his latest outing is. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/farage-not-holding-constituency-surgeries-amid-concerns-over-knife-attacks/ar-AA1qPTD4?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W037&cvid=bfac92d7ded74b75890e107977d39857&ei=8 |

As Nobby points out,Reform got more votes in the GE than the Libs. Nevermind, our corrupt system means Reform are not represented in the Modernise Parliament group. |

What is this supposed to mean - Reform are a real opposition Chesh, so that's why they get air time.GB News gives them daily exposure.
GBNews are not an official news outlet and are not governed by laws that cover other news outlets, that's why they can be so biased and don't have any impartiality.
Alright Bas -
Reform Party Limited vote - 4,117,610
Liberal Democrat Party - 3,519,143
The difference between the two of just under 600,000 does not explain the disproportionate amount of publicity and airtime given to Reform by all outlets.
I agree the seats are disproportionate in Parliament and under a different system Reform would have had a lot higher number of seats.
But still does not justify the lack of coverage for the Lib Dems.

I was referring to views on eg immigration and the EU. |
