Clarifcation: Labour’s vote dropped by over a third & the Greens DOUBLED theirs in Starmer’s Labour seat held since 1983. Farage lost 7 times before winning on his 8th attempt. Safe seats and political "guarantees" no longer mean what they used to mean.

Green Party membership has exploded under Zack Polanski and now sits at 240,000. More than the Conservatives and Liberals. When he was elected last year, it was 67,000.

The attacks on Zack Polanski after the Holborn & St Pancras byelection are unjustified. You've got a well known activist, who's worked and lived in the area for many years, so not surprising she won. She's there to represent the constituency and voters went with that. This kind of attack on a […]

The government has declared datacentres “nationally significant infrastructure projects” that can be forced through the planning system. This means getting preferential access to water. Yet it has no idea what they're used for. Our dwindling supplies might be prioritised for nudifying celebrities.

I've just finished a report which saying a 50mph speed limit on a rural single carriageway A-road with direct accesses and priority junctions is incompatible with Vision Zero and should be 40mph maximum and even that's too fast for side impact risk for drivers - it should be 30mph and redesigned.

There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.
