Labour put together a Party Political Broadcast of views expressed by Reform candidates and politicians. The language used by these Reform politicians was so offensive that the TV stations won’t broadcast the whole thing, but the encensored version will be available from 10:00am (UTC+1) today (26 April 2026).

    The Greens have consistently campaigned against Reform rather than adopting their policies as Starmer’s Labour has done. This kind of advertising will benefit the Greens. Nobody who’s been paying attention can take Labour’s commitment to the NHS seriously as long as Streeting is in office.

    It’s now available to watch. I find it odd that they consider the anti-NHS stuff to be about on a par with the racist stuff, to be honest. Like, I don’t agree with the view that we should fund healthcare the way France does, but I’m not shocked (SHOCKED!) that other people do.

      The Iran bit also required a bit too much doublethink.

      It is fairly effective, though. I was thinking the other day, one of the other parties should start putting every horrible thing Reform says on billboards or something.

      (Speaking of which, I bet those pesky TV stations didn’t think the comments were too offensive to air when they were coming out of a Reformtwat.)
