BBC is run by Farage supporters. Robbie Gibb and pals now take every opportunity to boost Reform and their criminal crypto bosses. God help us if enough people are fooled by their easy promises and bigotry. They could be doing a Trump on us before long. Don't think it can't happen. Look at the USA.

Look at how the BBC cover this, with a clear critical byline. It is negative coverage. Now I am not interested in debate on this topic but contrast with uncosted pie in the sky policy proposals from Reform which are sold positively on the same platform

Look, the water industry is very instructive here. Investing to repair/renew infrastructure was not going to make them any money and the purpose of the company was to make money so they did not do it. Your regulator can scream blue murder (they won't) but that won't change the fundamental equation.
