Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny!

Reverse your blacklisting of the Nottingham Post & Nottinghamshire Live. Scrutiny from the press is vital for democracy and freedom of the press - you should embrace it, not hide from it.
Why is this important?
Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control the county council - been banned from talking to the Nottingham Post & Nottinghamshire Live, just because we wrote an article they didn't like?
Our report asked legitimate questions about local government restructuring. That's our job. When councillors pick and choose which journalists get to talk to them, they can control the story and hide the truth.
This isn’t just about one newspaper. It's a massive attack on democracy and vital press scrutiny. If you agree, sign the petition now!
