For for the West of England mayoralty More in Common have:
Lab: 23%
Con: 21%
Reform: 18%
Green: 18%
LD: 15%
It is genuinely absurd to have an election with that kind of spread decided by first past the post. Unjustifiable.

Suspect we'll hear rather a lot less about this today than we did when it was was people protesting against catastrophic climate change, rather than the right to hang onto their multimillion pound inheritances

Keep seeing references to UK food security.
Since the mid-19th century UK food security has meant the ability to keep the sea lanes open and imports flowing in. Not the ability to produce domestic needs at home.
