I’m not sure Sunak and Starmer have agreed to be interviewed by Channel 4 News in such a style as this, whether by KGM or otherwise! I will say as a non-affiliated (political or media or otherwise) viewer that Ch4 News has robustly questioned members of both those parties in interviews before (while not necessarily part of this election campaign), even though many of those times I would have liked them to push harder! I’m not sure the aggressive line taken here by KGM is necessarily what anyone needed though, including referring to policies and candidates as “crackpot” and “crazy” (two ableist slurs for a start, and I know both Ch4 and KGM are better than that!)

Agreed! An 80 seat majority on only 43 % of the total vote has served up factional and divisive politics and a Cabinet failing to deal with the economic consequences of EU withdrawal and immigration, Covid and war in Europe. More people would vote for change if their vote really counted. PR of some sort is urgent, to break the cycle of safe seat, tactical voting and central office managed candidates.

Dude really got flustered a few times there, but impressively held his nerve and got his words out. It's infuriating that the Overton window doesn't allow conversations that will truly benefit "ordinary" people, let alone tackle the climate crisis to any meaningful extent because that's just not profitable for the multi-nationals and threatens the status quo which got the powerful and influential into the positions they have. If we had a functioning democracy in this nation, Labour wouldn't be able to coast to an easy victory by saying they're going to do nothing substantive for anyone, thus we're not doing to see the electoral changes required without taking to the streets in the kind of ways that Brits just don't do, especially when they're not being properly informed as to why they need to 😢 It's such a sad state of affairs, I truly despair.

Amazing Greens. The three main guys are Carla Denyer, Adrian Ramsey and Zack Polanski. ALL are vegan and as far as I am concerned, on the right side of history. ALL three are EXCELLENT speakers too. Carla was spokesperson on the the 2, 7-way political debates on TV. She did brilliant. Has been a vegan for many a year. Adrian Ramsey: 'As a vegan for 25 years and a member of Animal Aid since a teenager, I have a strong track record of campaigning on animal rights issues both within and outside the party.' Zack Polanski is Jewish - fighting for Palestinian rights - and been vegan for four years and was vegetarian for ten years before that. They CARE on every front 💚💚💚

A 20 minute interview showing how Adrian Ramsay was well briefed, unlike KG-M who tried to resurrect the old ‘third party is a wasted vote criticism ‘ - usually directed at the Liberals. Trying to pigeonhole someone as too left didn’t work either . Credit to Channel 4 for opening the door to alternative candidates. Perhaps the next step is to include urgent discussion for electoral system change- given the disastrous prospects of a future government based on a glaringly worn out 2 party system.

They don't need to agree to tough interviews to get coverage. Heck, they don't even need coverage, Labour's going to win, Tories are gonna get smashed, it's only a few [almost] meaningless percentage swings that'll occur from them. It's frightening there may be no "left of centre" party with a seat in England.

And because they’re scared of being properly questioned and forced to defend their record and views! I definitely agree that we as an electorate need this type of interview for all the political parties during a general election campaign, and I think it speaks volume for the Green Party to have agreed to this and to have held their own! There are still two weeks left… I’d say that maybe this sort of feedback will shame the two main parties into submission, but I suspect one of them already knows they’re toast, and the other is too complacent and already too busy planning on how to decorate in Downing Street to want to subject themselves to that level of scrutiny… My postal vote for the Green Party is going in tomorrow either way 💚

Technically, it is too late. To have a chance at keeping most of our infrastructure where it is, for what it's there for, we need to be extracting carbon/methane/water vapour from the atmosphere at a substantial rate, using "clean" energy that we're just not going to have. For the head scratchers ... there's a significant delay between cause and effect with the climate, the gasses we're pumping out now won't be reflected in the temperature change for several years.

12:30, I can attest to this aswell there are a lot of developments in the area the developments are mostly semidetached houses. Meanwhile there are 3 bedroom homes being rented out to young people as 5 bedroom homes. We need a lot more apartments.
