@@sunseeker9581 It's risky - if all those concerned for Gaza and disenfranchised from Labour opt to join Greens because they have a better stance - that might seem fine, but the makeup of the party will change away from its bread and butter aims - environment and nature, and problems in England and Wales, such as housing and public transport, and a wealth tax. That said, I am glad the Greens have taken a strong stance against war crimes and should be a voice that speaks out against them.

Largely because of the media. The British media are the most vile but influential stakeholder in Uk elections. We need media reform and despite all the skepticism of Labour doing anything to that effect, they're far more amenable to it than the tories would be. At least they've got a NEC and it's members to discuss, vote and back ideas of this nature in comparison to how useless tory members are. The fact barely any percentage of the population is willing to protest for things like electoral reform & media reform is why we're stuck with the status quo.

All councils have had their budgets squeezed for years (by the Tory government). So the bin strike was another GMB demand for higher pay.

Quite possibly. The place is full of pigeons and gulls (some of which are the size of chickens --------- not really, but they are bloody big). It's the only place I've ever been treated to the sight of a gull eating a pigeon.
