I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

He's not just unfit to be president, he's unfit to be a human being. He’s unfit to be a carbon based life form. He’s a waste of cytoplasm.

Starmer says Britain is at a fork. But he's spoon fed policies by Reform - it's clear the direction hes taking us all.

For bold politics- taxing the super rich, nationalising our public services, funding our NHS, Greens stand ready to replace Labour.

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will.

But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

'Immigrants should be required to adapt to the customs of this country'.

This presumably means lessons in morris dancing; queueing; using an eye-roll as a formal complaint; going 'waa-hey' when someone drops a load of plates in a restaurant; saying 'sorry' if someone bumps into you. Etcetera.

UK Greens back both open immigration and a massive programme of social housing + rent controls. They say the housing crisis is caused by bad policy/speculation, not migrants, and want better homes (sustainable, affordable, well-located), not just more sprawl.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

I don't know if it's a coincidence... but I work at a C of E primary school in Essex. My kids started there in 2007, I'm sure in all those years there never was such a push to ensure every single child takes part in daily "worship".

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
