I don't see us defending him. We're defending the political process taking place in person.

We at Reclaim our Buses believe that debates must take place in real life, not just be left to the internet and the powers of the algorithms.

Our values include challenging behaviour not people. We will hold a robust space and keep focused on what all of the candidates intend to do for the West of England's transport.

All the organising groups are committed to party-political impartiality, and electoral and charity laws require this of us. We have therefore invited all candidates. Our decision to invite any candidate does not mean that we endorse any views they may express on transport or other issues.

The organisers and the venue (Watershed) do not tolerate hatred or discrimination of any kind. We will ensure that the chair, candidates and audience members at the event will adhere to the Watershed Code of Conduct www.watershed.co.uk/policies/eth...
