I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'
Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.
Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery
Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.
Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.
He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.
A Brexit Party MEP.
A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:
"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."
This is a MASSIVE story

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles.
Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.
They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.
They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.
“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.
I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.
Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.
The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Musk is inciting violence on London's streets.Tommy Robinson is financed by US tech bros. These are all very direct attempts to destabilise the British state.
Starmer needs to stand up to this. A government that doesn't defend its country's values against these blatant attacks is not doing its job.

Farage furious over Jo Brand's 'throw battery acid not milkshake' joke
Brexit party leader calls for police action over comedian’s comments on BBC Radio 4

The BBC has defended the comedian Jo Brand against claims she incited violence in comments she made during a radio show.
Brand, who joined the Heresy talk show on Radio 4 as a guest on Tuesday, joked about throwing battery acid at “unpleasant characters” instead of milkshakes.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit party and one of several European election candidates that had milkshakes thrown on them in recent weeks, tweeted: “This is incitement of violence and the police need to act.”
CAN YOU IMAGINE CALLING FOR SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR A TWEET?!?!

Worth noting there were more white British people marching for Palestine than the ‘racist’ protests aimed at asylum seekers. By an absolute landslide. One to note for us all, especially in media and politics.

Remember all that fulminating in the billionaire press about "free speech" (ie their freedom to abuse Muslims, trans people etc with impunity)? Now that people are being arrested for speaking about an issue of the utmost gravity, the self-appointed guardians of liberty have fallen strangely silent.

The accusation that Corbyn's Labour "hated Britain" in truth meant Corbyn had disdain for the symbols of Britain: flag, army, royal family. Where as the modern Right actually hates literal Britain: the capital city and other urban areas, the people, the NHS and its employees, the education sector...
