Reasonable to treat Reform as a distinct phenomenon, when 14% party topped polls. BBC needs to reflect on 2025-26: it has told a rising monentum Westminster story but largely missed that momentum with public was falling back Part of answer: more normal coverage of Reforn political crosspressures

This. Flying the flag is all about context. Royal wedding, fine; BNP rally, no. This really isn't hard. And yet councils seem reluctant to remove the flags as they may upset people 'simply expressing their patriotism'. It is flatly not that; it is marking out territory. (Starmer useless here.)
