Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

We can have a long debate about whether the Democratic Party is centre left or centre right. However, look how much farther to the right the Republican Party is compared to right-wing European parties. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Not just that, but there is supposed to be a radical left in the USA.
The idea that there is a "Left" in American politics is an absurd right wing fantasy, which of course is politically useful to them, but unfortunately it's also useful to centrist media figures who need it to be true for their somber above-it-all commentary to make sense

Will the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the resulting call for retribution be America's equivalent of the 1933 Reichtag's fire in Germany?
