LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

Imagine if the Green Party got this much hype without any questions

[cookerobturnerxG]

A party that doesn’t elect its leader should be a red flag to all.

[ppetal]

Why give them more coverage than the other minor parties who have MPs and councillors? Outrageous.

[kenpie]

My whole family and I are all voting for the Reform Party 🇬🇧 🗳👌 I'm also defunding the beeb.

[jackbaynes]

Yeah, as much as Reform UK are small atm, they're rapidly growing, TDLR reckons Reform have a chance at overtaking the Tories in the election. To say "ignore them" would be utter stupidity would be nonsense: you don't ignore fascists or they'll stoke up crisis. We know what Farage can do, he apparently "saved us" from the EU, he can save the right-wing vote the same way. We HAVE to expect Nigel to be a problem again.

[nigelcox]

Gosh, Andrew Marr explaining how democracy works. Such radical political insight.

[scottthompson]

Ffs... give us PR please... make our votes actually count...

[jasonre]

He's an absolute legend. Hopefully he wins

[haydentrudgill]

I learned a long time ago that if the mainstream media are covering someone politically in a negative light ALL THE TIME, it peaks my interest and confirms that they might be someone that I like. They don't realise that they're garnishing more support for the very people they're trying to dissuade us from supporting.

[apopot]

Actually laughing my head off at people who want to vote for reform after their manifesto said they wanted Truss style cuts whilst privatising the NHS.

[merlin]

Vote reform and force the main parties to actually react to extemism and implement policies that arent self serving for millionnaires

[kevinquinlan]

The comments expressed on this are febrile. As if anyone is listening to the promoting of envy and jealousy by socialist. Andrew Marr is correct and Reform is the pushback to the prevailing nonsense we have to endure.

[LordFlashheart]

Whatever you think you know, you don't know enough! Vote Reform Uk. The time is now.

[beverleygould]

Reform UK 🇬🇧 Reform UK 🇬🇧 Go Nigel Farage

[Hiddenwarrior]

Tories are finish it’s time for a real opposition party who will put the people first Reform

[Gerry-Hat-trick]

Every "average" person in the UK should be worried. Without question, they and their supporters hold extreme views. Extremists never bring a long term benefit, and by their nature, only truly focus on minority agreed views and plans.
Many of those who don't like people with non-white skin, will rue the day, when they have little to no access to necessary healthcare. If you vote for a party without balanced views, you'll end up with a country without balance. Populism is a political cancer worldwide right now, and it's helping few but those "elite" who convince people they're fighting the elite.

[Worried-]

We should be aware of these people and their egregious views, but giving them an unfair and unwarranted share of the media platform only increases their support.

[francesdoyle]

They ahould ALL resign. Not one of them care about the people. What they should be doing is put our tax payers money back into the country, for the people. Not to be sending millions out of the country to nations that do nothing for us. Why are we aiding war zones when we have our own homeless and poverty in homes here. Liars the lot of them.

[stevewatson]

Vote REFORM UK and at least try and save your country
