Of course, policy and policy priorities need to be carefully considered. We have our Spring Conference coming up this month. And I'm sure our latest MP, a noted greyhound lover, will have a view on this.

But how much of an imposition would dog licences really be, so long as they are affordable?

Aand... the article is behind a paywall, making this mostly innuendo, rather than a contribution to a debate.

This is something being played up by The Sun, The Spectator and other right-wing rags who are never going to support the Green Party anyway.

"Himalayan mountain"? There are several - I believe it was Everest he summited. Or Sagarmatha, if you want to give it its Nepali name.

Of course he's likely to race for nuclear capability. It is the one thing which will stop the only country which has used nuclear weapons against a civilian population, and the only country in the middle east which currently has nuclear weapons, from keeping bombing the shit out of them.

Crab apples in your cheeks. Or horse chestnuts, if you can't get get crab apples. And buck teeth, and a valve to fix, and a look of stupid innocence that nobody would would ever suspect of any cleverness.

We'll need them all.

Blair sparks row with Starmer after claiming UK β€˜should have backed Trump’ in Iran The former prime minister told a private event that Labour β€˜had better show up’ for Washington

The #Iraq War was wrong then. The #Iran War is wrong now. A never ending cycle of death, destruction and chaos is the only thing that will come from this.

While we're hooked on oil & gas we're vulnerable to price shocks caused by a rogue US president.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Invest in renewables, insulate our homes, cut the cost of living.

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Exactly. I mean, far from this doing any damage to Ash Sarkar, Novara Media sells "I'm literally a communist" t-shirts.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
