Reach’s chief content officer says issue is part of a national trend that goes wider than the party

The publisher of the Nottingham Post has spoken of an “increasingly Trumpian approach” to the media creeping into British politics, amid a Reform-led council’s continuing ban against the title.

The 150-year-old paper, as well as its website, Nottinghamshire Live, have been prevented from speaking to Reform’s Nottingham county council leader, Mick Barton, while he has also prevented the titles from receiving updates and press releases.
