They are funded by an organisation called Climate Organisation Fund of which is funded by someone called Aileen Getty who’s family own Getty Oil.

Whether or not they are wanting to create a false narrative is questionable. I personally don’t think so, but who knows…

I miss Drakeford with his contently boring and largely sleazeless politics.

Any chance the absence of Blythyn and Waters was deliberate considering their recent history?

Still had them in 2019 in North Wales. They served the cider with squash to make them a bit more tolerable :D

Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.

Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don’t think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.

I think this is down to FPTP really.

I would love to vote Plaid or Green, but I would rather prevent the climate change-denying, homophobic, racist Tory from keeping his safe seat by voting Labour.

I had a survey from him recently branded and labelled from the House of Commons but largely contained questions related to devolved matters. I remember something about 20mph and M4 relief road as well as NHS in Wales. I wonder whether this would be against the code of conduct too? It seems like he wants to take the job of RT Davies in the Sennedd.

I believe this is England only. Health (which I believe this will fall under) is a devolved matter and the other governments are thankfully a bit more sane.

A lack of safe routes to claim asylum is a failure of the British system.

My interpretation is that by excluding glass from the scheme, this may incentivise consumers to buy plastic instead. Some of which will inevitably end up in the ocean.

will de-politicise the police

Somewhat paradoxical in this context.
