The greens are finally coming under serious scrutiny+ and they're rattled
Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection."
And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform?
Rattled? We're growing rapidly!

Well, I don't know who Michael Deacon is, but from his response to the Greens' election & polling success, he looks to me to be the one "seriously rattled".
But then he writes for the Telegraph, & I suppose all right-wing & extreme right-wing commentators are screaming & clutching their pearls now.
C'd someone ask Ms Leavitt (WH spokesperson) abt NYC, grievously suffering under Dem rule, with lower crime stats across the board?
Leavitt's possible reply:
"Any so-called reporter asking any such anti-American questions is clearly an enemy of We The People & of our Greatest Ever President Trump!"

Goodness!
Quite a serious monster.
Not for supper, though, I imagine.
Fine.
But what, Mr Starmer, will be your "irrevocable" stance next week?
Or tomorrow?
Or after the next poll that puts you & your party 3rd or 4th or even 5th, on 7th May?
You change your principles from day to day,
And isn't it so wonderful that Cap'n Farage's bosom buddy Mr Trump (currently POTUS) finds so much time to play golf at his leisure!
Why is Putin celebrating in the Kremlin, I wonder?
Looks pretty good to me.
(Wish I could do half as well!)

The message is catching on.
The House of Lords set the #AssistedDyingBill up to fail.
A small number of opposed peers deliberately ran down on the clock.
This is not the role of the Lords.
A real tragedy for terminally ill people and their families.

Zahawi also tried to get the taxpayer to pay for heating his private stables at the time of the MPs' expenses scandal 15 or more years ago.
The National. Huge new poll says Greens set to overtake Labour at Scottish election.

Mr Trump missed out on the Nobel Peace Prize last time.
How to fix it?
Launch a new war, & then stop it.
Result:
Peace again!
Simple!
Open & shut case, I'd say, Nobel Peace Prize Committee?
So when will Mr Trump be receiving your invitation to deign to accept your humble medal?
Thanks for all the kind comments!
I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else.
But you know what - bring it on. 💚

Keir Starmer has spoken to Donald Trump on the phone, Downing Street says
“The Prime Minister set out that the UK was taking part in coordinated regional defensive operations to protect British people and regional partners following Iran’s indiscriminate retaliatory strikes on allies in the region”
How could Ms Mahmood possibly imagine that trying to out-Farage the Faragists (quoted racists & incipient fascists) is in line with the Labour Party of Clement Attlee & Hugh Gaitskill, let alone its founder Kier Hardie?
Ah well, Labour Party.
You've dug your own grave.
Gorton&Denton proves that.
🚨VERY IMPORTANT!
ON 16 MARCH PARLIAMENT WILL DEBATE A PETITION FOR BY-ELECTIONS TO BE TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT

Sadly, perfect!
“The home secretary will warn Labour MPs that the party will lose the next election unless they speed ahead with her hardline immigration reforms”

Westminster is 'out of touch' and 'blind' to the challenges facing Scottish and Welsh communities, John Swinney has said, adding that both countries can do so 'much better' independently from the UK
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth is building up to a crucial election in Wales where his party could end up forming the Welsh Government for the first time.

Russia's chemical plant in Smolensk is a total loss after a Ukrainian drone attack. Satellite pictures show true devastation at the factory that makes explosives for the Russian military and seven people were killed.
The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
This is crazy. Surely by now the government must realise it will not achieve decency over division by trying to be Reform Lite?
Ah, the McCrone Report.
Not exactly news for anyone with Scotland's real interests at heart.
But excellent that The National is fully airing it again.
What a great pity that we Scots should have allowed ourselves to be hoodwinked, blindfolded, lied to, for so many decades.
Well, that indeed is an impossible conundrum.
But it was Mr Trump who got himself into this mess (& dragged the USA behind him).
So -all democratic Americans (whether Dem, or Rep, or Indy) have a huge responsibility on their shoulders.
Please, Americans! Get a bloody grip!
Gorton & Denton by-election tonight:
Greens! All the best. I do hope you win.
