People think that they're not strong because they're so slender, but they can easily pull folks over like this because they're basically all muscle!

Oh yes.......cats, squirrels, rabbits.......if they see them they'll go, so you learn to hold on tight!

Thank you for making such a long trip!

Thank you, but I don't know about a marvellous job! Just about holding it all together is the truth!

Olive, Judy, William and Forrest 😊

There's actually 4 greyhound in there! One is hiding behind Han!

Welcome 👋🏻💚

BOOM!

I agree that the right vote is now more split than it's ever been, and the political spectrum is split up more evenly nowadays

Fair comment. Certainly Farage's public profile being raised by various media organisations has enabled his views to be accepted more broadly. My main concern is they seem to have topped out at 30%ish, but if normalised further could create a broader coalition.

Agreed. It is somewhat involved because it feels radical. Not easy to put on a simple-to-understand leaflet. Needs the party's best communicators to talk about it with the cut-through messages. But the party has great communicators and will find a way for this excellent policy to get broad support.

Hannah? I can confidently say she wouldn't.

There can be no environmental justice without social, racial and economic justice. Addressing one problem almost always means that you're also chipping away at another.

Absolutely. Different things resonate with different people, and the localism aspect is easier when it's a by-election. But I do agree with the message that started with Zack but has become somewhat broader Green Party messaging.

And the important thing is that you recognise it! So thank you for that. Get too much of the "woke nonsense" or "political correctness police" when I point this stuff out. So appreciate your acknowledgement here 😊

It's a concern though. Farage and Reform get normalised by stealth if there's a much more radical right in the picture.

I understand what you're saying but disagree. Zack often talks about the environment being very far down people's priorities when you can't afford the basics of life. G&D is one of the most deprived constituencies in the country. Talking about the environment would have been out of touch.

💯

If it wasn't Labour, they'd have been saying something about it immediately. But they didn't. Silence speaks volumes in this instance.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Pretty rare for them to lose half their vote and get pushed out into third though.

And a focus on Labour losing the by-election, rather than the Greens winning it.

Thanks so much for coming up Peter. Sorry that we didn't bump into each other!

If you say so pal. Rob Ford said what he did. The tactical voting website didn't. That's really quite different. But we're not getting anywhere here, and I'm sure we both have better things to do with our day. Have the last word if you like, but I'm off to do something constructive.

How about we pretend both of us are adults in possession of all the facts and then tell me why you're trying to convince the world that there's equivalence here.

Why don't you read Rob Ford's Substack and make your own mind up?
