Reform councillors in Nottinghamshire won't engage with local journalists because they can’t stand being held to account. This is what a Reform government would be like. They're a far-right, authoritarian party that seeks to undermine our democracy. www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-op...
A Trump inspired move!
"undermine"? You spelled "destroy" wrong. Just out of curiosity, has anyone explored how much money flowing to Farage and co. comes from Putin's "friends"? Over here, the GOP was funded significantly by Russia from an early period. I still suspect that Rupert Murdoch was first assisted by Putin.
Exactly what Trump is doing, banning the journos he can't control from his briefings, personally attacking those who criticise him and demanding they be sacked, and controlling the media organisations so they only report what he wants them to say. Do we really want this in Britain?
They probably can't hold a decent conversation.
He looks like the type who should have his lap top confiscated and searched by police. Get a warrant now. There will be a gold mine of really twisted illegal shit on it I guarantee. Snuff even.
Bit like Labour then? Why can't any politicians simply be honest and answer a question without slagging off the previous govt or other parties?
As a Dem from the States, I don't recommend it
It's what most of our media want too.
As an American, I can tell you that you don't want this nonsense in your country!!!

Then they need to be shown to be considering themselves as above democracy. They need to be shown to be the fascist little wannabe hitlers. Every news channel with any journalistic integrity needs to report this.
This is what its going to be like under an authoritarian regime. No doubt they'll start to take rights away from people as well.
Sounds like the Labour party to me.
So is Labour the party you belong to, your point being...??
With all due respect, we know that already, please, use the pointy end of the sword as the Lady Aelswith, wife of Alfred, says in The Last Kingdom.
I hope the UK finds a way to stop these guys NOW, because that is how it started here in the US/USSR.
Trumpism 101
This is really taking a page out of Trump's playbook. I've been seeing worrying parallels between what's happening in the USA and what would happen under Reform UK here.
The same people are behind both.
They are Nazis. Unspeakably evil. They should be sanctioned, embargoed, counteracted and fought at every turn.
This is serious.
It just goes to show they have no intention of responding to the wishes of their supporters only the oligarchs who fund them
Any media asking Farage if he supports this policy ?
Of course they won't.
Wishful thinking I know
Fascists will be fascists
Your leader only took GB News with him on his ill failed attempt to launch the Rwanda Scheme 2.0 'this time it's Albania!' Could those of you with principles please start pushing harder against this Reform lite platform that's coming from the top.
hey, for one Labour MP we have that says something against Reform let's be nice or something. She may be purged shortly you know.
That's fair. I was probably feeling too indiscriminately mean-spirited about Labour yesterday.
Cannot blame you - yesterday the news were leaving me so distressed that I could do nothing at work, everything was an internal monologue asking "why nobody does anything, why everything looks like a long trip to ever deeper shit". I decided to close reddit and bsky. Which I should do now.
Reform would be like the republi-fascist party under Hump in the US.
Exactly!!! UK, please wake up!! The Reform party brought you BREXT. The 🍅 in the USA is Nigel Farage's buddy and Farage traveled to the USA many times in 2017 to campaign for 🍅's candidates. They are all backed by Putin.
These people are dangerous
fromage is in Scotland and the Scottish press are asking questions about his latest reform dogma divisive speech and is floundering and back tracking weak untrustworthy s!!!!
They are accountable by law.
Ok, so why is your leader endorsing all of their talking points? And what do you plan to do about that?
how does this differ from the labour government?
I am unaware of this govt banning its elected representatives from communicating with a legitimate news outlet [who's product shows it in a bad light].... is there an example?? This Labour govt are shit at communication. But so far as I know they've not gone all 'Trumpian' yet
Even from here in the US, we can see Reform is as bad, if not worse, than right-wingers like Tories.
Hmm sounds like a familiar strategy
Meanwhile Keir's boasting about already implementing Reform policies while they're just talking about it. I know you're not on board with this nonsense Nadia. Have a word.
It seems like there is one of these groups in every country now. What is happening
It amazes me , with a media that is fully supportive of right wing policies the most extreme right wing groups have the temerity to claim the media is against them.
Sounds very much like YOUR government too.
Oh it’s an answer of do as I say then. ( car crash in the making I suspect). Keep us informed please
Kinda like here in the states with the Republicans
