The Greens believe they are ahead in “some wards”. They WON some wards in the locals back in April - so this is not necessarily progress

Turnout for by-election confirmed at just under 39% - it was 54% in the GE That is much lower than it might have been - and suggests to me the Greens failed to hype this enough to win

No chance at all of any effective system costing £10Bn - £10Tr would be nearer the mark - and delivery about 2060 Tories totally wrong to go for a "big tech" magic solution rather than learn from how Ukraine (and Iran!) manage against a big enemy

I no longer possess or drive cars - but in younger days loved the glamour of Jaguar, who offered "Grace, Space and Pace" at a reasonable price. E-types remains as heart-stoppingly beautiful as when I first saw one in Campbeltown in the 1960s on the rare occasions I see one in the West End

The sheer stupidity of our govts in allowing this entirely avoidable & predictable situation to develop makes my blood boil Vapes should only have been permitted as a prescribed aid to eliminate smoking. We've learnt nothing about addiction since the Elizabethans www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
