I do wish I could be there, but am committed to something of great importance here in Suffolk to do with the Power of Prevention. However, I am deeply disappointed and sadly not surprised that Labour hasn't encouraged its voters to vote Green this time. What a triumph it would be if the Green Party secured this seat.
The fact that so many people are willing to admit to an intention to vote for such a vile person as Matt Goodwin is astonishing. Even a few years ago this person would not have got anywhere near a ballot from a mainstream party. He's one of the most openly racist people ever to stand for office and should be sent packing with his tail between his legs. An absolutely disgusting individual
I agree that it’s shameful Labour isn’t encouraging a Green vote to negate Reform. I am also sorry that ill health prevents me from joining you. Best of luck.
I wish so much I could take part, but I live in Somerset, and am disabled. Frankly I feel so guilty at not being there.
The Green Party with Zack Polanski is the only way forward for this country. I cannot abide the Tories, Labour, or Reform - they’re all anathema to sane people. They lack any real connection to the everyday person in Britain. They’re all pro-israel for a start, which means that they support the genocide of the people of Palestine, including all the torture/rape of innocent people, and the murder of babies and children. In addition, farage and Reform are backed by ‘Tommy Robinson’ who’s so patriotic that he lives permanently in Spain; and Suella Braverman who did her level best to get our freedom of speech and right to protest, removed. She also started the nonsense that if you were pro-Palestinian and took part in a demonstration, you were a terrorist. Of course farage also admires trump and what he’s doing in the usa - building concentration camps, and killing/detaining citizens of the country. It started off with them attacking illegal immigrants who had committed a crime; it’s ended up by attacking anyone, of any age, of any skin colour, from anywhere. This has included Indigenous Americans, who are the only people in the usa who are not immigrants.
We do not want fascism and authoritarianism in this country; and we certainly don’t want to continue the refusal to ‘super-tax’ the very rich. What we do want is for Britons and Britain to be the priority of our government, rather than the wishes of a foreign country. We want a diplomatic foreign policy; not the hostile one of the usa/israel. In fact we should shun that pair, in favour of the rest of the world. The usa/israel is the threat to world peace, not Russia and not China. NATO as it is should be reformed without the usa, and the rest of the world should be our marketplace.
All these things are achievable with the Green Party. I want to look forward to a peaceful world, in which countries work together for the good and equality of all. This would include working together to mitigate the climate crisis, and to protect and conserve the natural world. Without all the wars started and funded by the usa/israel, there would not be the problems associated with migrants. People are also forced to leave their own countries because of extreme weather conditions caused by the climate crisis. If everyone was also working to reduce such situations, again fewer people would feel that they had to leave their countries. With countries helped to cope and rebuild after wars and other dreadful situations, people who had previously had to leave them, would likely want to return. However, it should also be remembered that with an aging population, and a falling birthrate, the UK needs all the people it can get, just to keep running.

The LibDems should not be standing, they'll just split some of the Green vote. The Workers Party quite rightly stood down for the Greens.
Your graph is wrong. Labour and Reform both on 28% but the reform bar is bigger.
Tories on 6% is out of proportion, too big. In your graph they are bigger than the combined 9% of other parties.
Why are you publishing clearly doctored graphs?
None of your statements are accurate.
He has changed the graph. The original one did have the anomalies I have described. i have screenshotted it.

Ah, got it.
Pretty minor issues, but your point is taken.
