How viable are Green targets in 2024? Part Two – politicalbetting.com
How viable are Green targets in 2024? Part Two – politicalbetting.com
As discussed in Part One, the Greens have gained impressive local council bases the last couple of years and are targetting three new seats at the 2024 election to try and grow their Parliamentary presence. However, while the Greens are clearly ascendant in their new target seats, albeit not to great heights in North Herefordshire, the same is not true in Brighton Pavilion.

Magnificent Freudian slip @Quincel!
I agree with the thrust as well. 0 Greens would be my guess.

If anything I’d expect Braverman’s Ebenezer Scrooge efforts of yesterday might depress the Tory polling a tiny bit further.
Mind you that's because I saw the Metropolitan Police tweet rather than the right wing muppet's post that got 400,000 views compare to the Met Police's 10,000 views.
Still sad that it's surrounded by fencing.
For years I have been saying that, if you are worried about global warming -- and can do arithmetic -- you will favor more nuclear power.
And, as everyone should know, switching from fossil fuels to nuclear power helps clean the air.
Michael Shellenberger's little book, "Apocalypse Never", persuaded me that I missed something: He charges that people selling fossil fuels have subsidized anti-nuclear movements, and names some big names.
(Correct me if I am wrong about this, but I seem to recall reading that Russia had subsidized anti-nuclear groups in Eastern Europe.)
PR would permanently entrench the Greens, and - on the right - a Reform style party.

Definitely looks like a Tory downturn this week. COVID enquiry effect I assume.
They may fall below 29%, which was what Brown delivered for Labour in 2010.
They might just lose by less than 100 runs.

They generally spend the next week tidying up the place, which includes fencing/scaffolding.
But you keep pedalling fake news.
While these five blokes did it at their own risk (and they admitted it was a risk) and fortunately got away with it.
Speaking of risk, that was not a high percentage shot Mr Ali.
Tinpot trophy.
I want to correct a misconception about Mrs Thatcher.
Section 28 was an abomination but it was an outlier in her career as she was generally pro gay.
Voted to decriminalise homosexuality as part of Leo Abse's bill
One of her earliest acts as Prime Minister was to civilise the Scots and Northern Irish by decriminalising homosexuality.
She appointed lots of gayers (though the less said about Peter Morrison the better)
Above all else her government saved the lives of so many gay men by tackling the AIDS epidemic. She took on misconceptions and bigotry, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester publicly said of AIDS/HIV sufferers that they were '"swirling in a human cesspit of their own making".
I think you’re right about everywhere else in Western Europe having Green MPs, excluding the microstates. (No Greens in the Monegasque legislature.) The Portuguese Parliament only has one.
Which is why I asked whether risk tolerance in the SSPCA was wrong not that they made the wrong decision
What has the class of 2019-24 done to deserve even that degree of electoral success?
The civil service advised him he was being “courageous”
He was a Methodist lay preacher, who was obsessed with gays and also good friends with Cyril Smith.
But personally, I wouldn't have risked the lives of three men to save one sheep.
The three men felt differently. Well, their lives, their risk to take. But I am not convinced it was the smartest option. One slip and we'd be talking about how stupid they looked.
She tells me of the effort they put in to make the place look awesome in the week before Remembrance Sunday.
They take down the flags and other things placed at the Cenotaph, hose it down, and put up new clean flags.
You are engaging in HYUFD levels on not wanting to admit you are wrong.
Otherwise you'll look as reactionary as Lozza Fox.
Too often institutions hide behind health & safety or insurance
We have a zero-risk approach on too many occasions
That's all, Woakes.
Sunak really does now look like Brown 2, a highly intelligent former chancellor who desired the PM job desperately but only got it at the end of his party's time in power and led it to heavy defeat at a time of economic difficulty against a Leader of the Opposition who has moved his party to the centre. The 2008 crash then, cost of living now
She ensured sufficient resources were made available because she understood the dangers of exponential growth.
Question - Do you think global warming, or climate change, will pose a serious threat to you or your way of life in your lifetime?

In fact, the really embarrassing thing is this is their second best performance.
Maybe go for the 1842 retreat from Kabul? Although 75% of that was Indian too.
His FC economy rate is 3.9

It's also worth mentioning, I hope objectively, that there's been a distinct improvement in visible council services in the six months since Labour supplanted the Greens: the streets are cleaner, rubbish collections are more reliable, and weeds have been removed. Labour could well take Brighton Pavilion at the GE, especially when one looks at how the other two Brighton seats have swung from being Tory at one time to huge Labour majorities now.
Some decent Conservatives, only about tens of them but it was enough, stood up when it counted and not when it was fashionable. Edwina Currie, David Mellor, Norman Fowler. It could have killed their careers and they did it anyway (not like bloody Matthew Parris who only came out when it was safe. Even David Starkey didn't do that). Their memories should not be besmirched by saying they did it because Thatcher. They did it despite her.
"...children who need to be able to express themselves in clear English have been taught political slogans. Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay..." - Margaret Thatcher, Conservative Party Conference, 1987
I swear to God above, PB has the memory of a mayfly.
I think it’s rather offensive in concept; as someone who was an Essex member until ill-health forced me to give up I feel absolutely no loyalty to some scratch team in North London.
The IDF are sending XL Bully type mega-dogs down the Hamas tunnels to eat the terrorists. Some have cameras attached
BTW, I note the stereotypical British love of "eyewatering" in connection with large sums of money.
Known in USA but FAR less frequently heard, or seen in print/texts/whathaveyou.
Have the eyes of any PB ever actually, literally watered/teared up, upon seeing a gigantic billing demand, or whatever?
Realize there MAY be some crying, sobbing, wailing in the aftermath of such a sighting! But upon first sight?
But - the county boards are somewhat reluctant to give up the £1.3 million bribe, er, subsidy they get as a result.
(Which, by the way, is not included in that £9 million loss.)
The British meaning is “to act in a vacillating or indecisive manner”
In my nightmares there aren't many as scary as a XL Bully suddenly coming down a totally darkened tunnel and then commencing to eat my face. In the dark
Problem is, with no 50 over competition and a reduced number of ODIs, the players who might have provided competition and allowed selectors to drop big names who were clearly out of form or struggling for fitness, have hardly played it. Only really Harry Brook has been given a chance - and he wasn't in the initial squad - as they simply haven't been able to judge if someone is a good 50 over player.
They stuck to the same old formula of bashing away, which was never going to work both in India, and now other teams have had 4 years to work out England's weaknesses.
