I always associate scholars with having sherry in their rooms for some reason. Enjoy the biscuits.

their best ever profile with current policy - all parties/orgs are at risk of extreme capture - Greens more than ever with their member system - now they are in the big time (and despite your swiss roll comments they are) they need to adapt their voting + rules to suit. Cheerio

None of what you say discounts that they are currently on a roll. Everything I said re stats is true with bells on - their Cllrs are making a difference where they hold office, in Scotland Greens were (albeit briefly) in our Govt! I no longer vote Green, they are a force for good and are risking

Coming a decent second in their second most successful by-election, going from 60k to well over 200k members in ten years, highest number of MPs ever, 800 seats in 170 councils. Yes, Greens are on a roll, been buggered by this vote, but they lost to Burnham more than the stupid vote.

I used to walk past the Egyptian Homebase on Warwick Rd each morning that was so bonkers I smiled everyday. It was controversial even before opening with one of the company directors insisting on having some of the column arches demolished and removed prior to opening.

I listened to a podcast recently where a former RAF chap at a service in Normandy (I think) described a group of Luftwaff veterans the same way...i think they were chatting to Bader...might have been an episode of WHWOMYT.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

I've listened to hundreds of audio books read by actors, most are excellent, two have used well known actors (one of those a BBC radio actor) who were dreadful readers. Truly dreadful, one I stopped listning to, and one ruined a book my wife was listening to that I had read -

Most folk (I'd argue ) dont know the leader of thier council's name. I know all my Cllrs, by name to chat to in the street. I regularly engage with all of them via voluntary work and occasionally personal issues. But I've no idea of the Council leader's name...which I am now embarrassed about.

I'm not sure the poster was even sure what they were talking about Simon, it just seemed a word salad to me. V good to see St Pancras result, not from the Labour perspective so much but that a former refugee is an MP. We have a bloody Reform MSP in our neighbourhood! Well done London!

Its pretty much all most of us are thinking and talking about mate. You've former leaders and Green MP's who have been talking about it since the vote took place. If it wasn't news you'd have Greens complaining about that as well. Come on.

I was surprised at the News Agents yesterday giving her such an easy ride. She landed Jeffrey Archer FFS, and Anne Widecombe who left the tories. Then she slagged off the torie who left the party for UKIP and Reform. Then she slagged off the police for being too woke in the Henry Nowak case....
