We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of the Government.

Background
The BBC is funded by the public and has a duty of impartiality. Giving Reform UK excessive visibility compared with other parties risks distorting public perception and undermining democracy. Balanced coverage is essential for trust in the BBC and fair democratic debate.
