Fair enough. I think the momentum up is with Green and the opposite with Labour and as soon as most polls show them nearby, more people will jump over and take Green seriously. It'll be interesting anyway.

It's incredibly frustrating. There's literally nobody to speak for the reasonable, common sense, no nonsense, well reasoned view.

Great news. It would have been better if UEFA had done what it should and banned a country committing genocide from European competition but this is at least a good step
