Labour freaking out about the Green surge speaks volumes.
They’re rattled, their internal polling must be as grim as national polling.
I want radical change to this Thatcher shaped status quo, hope is what I want - not pandering to Reform and cracking crap jokes whilst our society burns.

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
