I watched a canvasser and a candidate who were leafleting for Reform and getting an idea of whether people are going to vote. Half of the people they asked were put off voting because of Channel 4's recent expose into an actor who was canvassing in Clacton. The people, including Reform voters, are listening to the media despite what we're being told by Reform supporting commentators online.

The media's focus on Reform is only going to intensify in the next day or two as the media are attempting to portray Reform as a paid up UK arm of the Kremlin and attempt to get candidates to denounce the party and throw their support behind the Tories alongside the usual -ists and -phobics they are already portraying the candidates as. Bear in mind that Reform is the only political party that has gone on record to denounce and call for the abolition of the BBC, its licence fee and Channel 4 and I suspect that the mainstream parties and the mainstream media want Reform to be seen as toxic in the run-up to the election.
