The Greens could be polling at 40% and all we’ll read about is the rise of Reform
Shot, chaser
Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

This is absurd. The mpox/monkeypox vaccines are already paid for & there are major outbreaks in several African countries. Couldn't they just hand the doses over to WHO or GAVI or Gates Fdtn or some other entity to distribute?

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.
In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.
Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

So it will be illegal to belong to or even express support for a group engaging in non violent direct action to stop a genocide
But it will still be legal to volunteer for the armed forces committing the genocide, and to express support for them (as most in Westminster and Fleet St do)
