The problems of skewed political coverage in the media becomes so clear at election time:
On the one hand, wall-to-wall coverage of Reform UK, a limited company (masquerading as a political party) run by privately educated men from financial services, whose electoral success is limited;
On the other hand record levels of food bank use, rampant poverty & a health crisis all treated as something that is only news-worthy from time-to-time.... and merely unfortunate
