If Iran attacks British interests overseas, it will be incredibly difficult to defend them. British oil infrastructure is spread all over the world, it already costs millions to protect it - money that should be spent on schools, hospitals - and peace negotiators.

Membership means money and potential activists which - as we saw in G&D, is huge.
200,000 @greenparty.org.uk members + 9k @scottishgreens.org = 209k Green members. Labour claimed 250,000 in December, but takes ages to delete cancelled memberships. Those lines will surely cross this year.

With polls closed in Gorton and Denton, we know one thing for sure: it’s time to abolish first past the post.
Dodgy bar charts and dubious claims about polling are an inevitable consequence of using first-past-the-post in a multi-party country: abolishwestminster.substack.com/p/gorton-and... - me on Gorton and Denton controversies.
I don't think I do equalise them. Labour has outright lied, Greens have used some questionable stats. You can say both of those things without saying they're the same.

Many people in the Labour Party will have read the expert reports and seen the international evidence, have understood that the war on drugs is failing disastrously and know the Greens are basically right on drugs. But they choose more needless deaths over losing a by-election.
The Andrew crisis won’t be the end of the House of Windsor, but it is another step in their slow decline. Me for @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/prin...
As a parent of small children, I want them to get age appropriate sex education so that if someone touches them inappropriately, they have the language to say so. The only people who lose out from this are paedophiles. Why is @mattgoodwin.skystack.xyz campaigning against it?
I have left the Labour Party and joined the @greenparty.org.uk. Full statement below. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @southwarkgp.bsky.social
