Another policy stolen from the Green Party. They'll be proposing to bring water companies back into public ownership and introducing a wealth tax next.
No, I only know 1 who would fit that description. They have spoken highly of Nancy Platts and after failing to unseat Saint Caroline, getting the Kemptown nomination might be seen as just reward.
I just looked at LRM's statement on Twitter and it was interesting to see prominent Green politicians' (including Elaine Hills, the candidate in Kemptown) supportive messages. She said:
'Iβm so sorry @lloyd_rm - I hope youβre ok. This is really shabby, just before an election. I hope members...
It was this that did it for me with Labour. I saw first hand how the local party was suspended for years (a few weeks were promised originally) and the right came back in full control. It was no longer a broad church. It was the NEC way or the highway. The ridiculous thing was that there were...
I noticed that the poll had 2 Green MPs. I doubt we'll get another in Kemptown as the Green vote in E Brighton and Telscombe/ Peacehaven isn't strong. Hopefully Pavilion will stay Green and maybe Bristol and another in E Anglia. There are strong local campaign issues in both those places and the...
They also lost my wife's vote when they welcomed Natalie Elphicke. As I've already posted, I think Starmer is calculating that by shifting right (including by binning left-leaning MPs) he'll pick up more votes and seats in former Red Wall constituencies than he'll lose in places like Brighton...

It explains how poor regulation (aided and abetted by rubbish government oversight, deliberately in the case of the Tories) have let this happen. Interestingly, the Government held a...
If you could choose the Government Cabinet from 'celebrities ', who would you choose for which position?
Here's my starter for 10:
PM: Hugh Grant (Love Actually, rather than Paddington or A Very English Scandal)
Chancellor: Martin Lewis
Foreign Secretary: Simon Reeves
Home Secretary: Sarah...

While you're there you can peruse the improvements planned over the next 30 years in the Delivery Action Plan p97 onwards. This tries to look at the A/M27 corridor west...
Would that have been Tony Blair's NHS IT project which also involved Fujitsu? A mate of mine was working on it (for the NHS) and visiting their office in Hammersmith. One day, he rocked up and they'd just cleared out without telling any of their NHS partners. If I remember correctly, they sued...
