Fact check: Ofcom’s rules on party broadcast time unchanged since at least 2017

Publisher’s rating: Ofcom’s rules on the amount of air time afforded to each political party in an election period say “broadcasters must take into account evidence of past electoral support and/or current support”. Reform UK has not previously been represented in a General Election. The section of Ofcom’s rules on how much coverage parties should receive has not been updated since at least 2017.
