The Greens are very expensive with all these by-electionsA 6th newly elected London Green councillor has quit overnight. Joanna Eaves resigned from Lambeth Council due to ill health. A by-election will be called in Clapham Park. It follows candidates that won in Camden, Haringey, Ealing, Hackney and Lambeth also stepping down- Olly Grender reposted250,000 miscarriages happen in the UK every year, but you have to suffer three or more before you get any extra support. @CarolinePidgeon is pushing the government to act earlier.

This story has been shared a lot this weekend. There *is* a very real chance Labour will lose control of Lambeth Council in local elections on May 7th. But it is *much* less likely that there will be an overall Green majority in Lambeth Town Hall. @brixtonbuzz @heartstreathamThere is one London borough that will be particularly painful to lose to the Greens for generations of politicians around Sir Keir Starmer This is how Labour's “Lambeth mafia” are bracing for defeat to the left twenty years on from a much-mythologised win - Olly Grender reposted

.@GBNEWS claims it’s the home of free speech, but they do lean heavily to the right. Will they commit to allowing a Liberal Democrat to host a show next year to balance out Farage, Rees-Mogg and Anderson? I challenged @christopherhope to set an ambitious goal for 2026.
