Pretty evident that this is already happening. Surrounded by three hard right wingers on tonight’s #bbcqt the Labour guy was basically invisible, he let Zack do all the work of standing up against bigotry - well, Zack and a hearteningly decent Shrewsbury audience.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

If you dislike it so much - move.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Rather similar statistic but for a different preference here in Scotland : majority of people aged under 50 want Scotland to leave UK. As for leaving EU, everyScottish region voted to stay. Fat lot of difference that made.
