I think the combination of the dominance by the BBC of news, together with the levels of trust it enjoys, gives it a degree of influence which is unhealthy for it and for democracy. And it uses them to perpetuate a status quo-ism which is demonstrably failing the nation.

Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.

It's worrying that she seems to feel entitled to the position.
And whilst there may be obstacles, she has created obstacles for herself and the party as a whole with the disastrous launch.

Anything to do with recent polls showing the Greens beating Labour I wonder?
I'm not complaining, I would rather they be pushed left than continue to be Temu Reform.
Maybe they could try stopping persecuting the disabled, trans people and immigrants next.

I think he's smart enough to listen to the experts.
He did an interview with the economist Richard Murphy who has lots of good ideas on taxing the rich and used it as a listening exercise.
Ultimately members create the policies so we have to hope they will make informed decisions

I think the greens need to have a wider range of tax raising policies as a one of wealth tax clearly won't cover it.
It's also the case that many are saying that a simple wealth tax is difficult to implement.

This is actually quite clever for them.
Technically they're not lying as you are "overlooking" the ceremony.
But they know full well it'll be read as you "disregarding" the ceremony.
GB News is actually the biggest problem we face more than Reform because they shouldn't exist as a news channel.

The constant crazy news coming out of the USA makes it sound like it's just endless chaos now.
An incompetent dictatorship that will make everyone's lives miserable whilst not improving the basics that authoritarian regimes usually succeed at - like low crime etc
The USA is a basket case.
