The last green surge came at a time that the party had taken it's eye off the ball slightly on organising. Now it's quite the opposite. The vast majority of new members will be in places where there's stuff to do near them if somebody asks them to do it!

Once viewed an unoccupied house where somebody had left a few of the racist dolls commonly seen on jam jars in a corner of the bedroom. You'd think that the estate agent would have at least hidden them in the back of the wardrobe, but no....

Ah yes, hadn't even thought of that angle.

Interesting he didn't mention Plaid.

And Goodwin's wrong that it "asks people if they're English". Versions I've seen ask if you're Black/White/Asian etc then require you to enter an "origin", of which English is an example.
It's open to click (say) Black and enter English as an origin, and nowhere does it suggest origin=ethnicity.

For 20 years I've been telling people that opposing PR is something that's at the core of the Labour Party's existence.

Now I've changed my mind- if Farage talks more about PR, Labour will probably start to back it.
