Petition Action

Review BBC political coverage to stop disproportionate airtime for Reform UK.

Petition Details

Parliament should investigate the BBC’s recent political reporting, which has given Reform UK disproportionate coverage compared with other parties, including the Greens. The BBC must ensure fair and proportional representation across all parties.

Additional Information

The BBC is funded by the public and has a duty of impartiality. Giving Reform UK excessive visibility compared with other parties risks distorting public perception and undermining democracy. Balanced coverage is essential for trust in the BBC and fair democratic debate.
