Reform UK: Media Bias and the Rise of a Disruptor
In this episode of Stop The Press!, we dive into the media coverage surrounding Reform UK - the most disruptive force in British politics today. As the party gains traction in the polls, we examine how outlets on both the left and right are reporting on its progress, policies, and leadership.
Is the traditionally partisan press adapting to Reform UK’s rise - or doubling down on familiar narratives? What does this say about longstanding media biases and the shifting political landscape? Join us as we unpack headlines, analyse editorial tone, and explore what the coverage tells us about journalism in the UK today.
