Mark Rowley का कहना है कि Zack Polanski की टिप्पणियों से 'खतरनाक' संदिग्धों का सामना करने वाले अधिकारियों का मनोबल गिरने का जोखिम है। Metropolitan police के प्रमुख के अनुसार, Green party के नेता Zack Polanski ने Golders Green चाकूबाजी के बाद एक आलोचनात्मक सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट साझा करके अधिकारियों के खतरनाक लोगों से निपटने के आत्मविश्वास को बिना सोचे-समझे कम कर दिया। बुधवार को उत्तर-पश्चिम लंदन उपनगर में दो यहूदी लोगों को चाकू मारे जाने के बाद अधिकारियों को संदिग्ध को हिरासत में लेते हुए फिल्माया गया था। पढ़ना जारी रखें...
मतदाताओं की वफादारी अब एक पुरानी बात हो जाने के साथ, Lib Dems की cost of living नीतियां और Trump की आलोचना उन्हें बढ़त दिला सकती हैं। यह एक ऐसी चुनावी तैयारी रही है जिसमें Reform UK और Greens का उभार, और Labour और Tories की विरोधाभासी मुश्किलें छाई रही हैं। लेकिन इसकी संभावना है कि 8 मई को Liberal Democrats, जिन्हें हाल के हफ्तों में काफी हद तक नजरअंदाज किया गया है, English local government में सबसे बड़ी पार्टी के रूप में उभर सकते हैं। यह पार्टी के नेता Ed Davey और उनकी टीम के लिए कई विरोधाभासों में से केवल एक है। वे कई राष्ट्रीय सर्वेक्षणों में पांचवें स्थान पर हैं, और उनकी रेटिंग 2024 से शायद ही बदली है। लेकिन Lib Dem प्रमुख आशावादी हैं, उन्हें विश्वास है कि UK की राजनीति अब इतनी अलग और इतनी atomised हो चुकी है कि headline polling लगभग अप्रासंगिक हो गई है। Continue reading...

‘Critical debate’ about party’s identity and direction looms if it loses control of Senedd next month after 27 years in powerWelsh Labour is the democratic world’s most successful election-winning machine, coming first in Wales in every general election since 1922 and every devolved election since 1999. Come next month’s Senedd election, however, this history-making run is expected to end.Labour’s collapse has left a vacuum, and former Labour voters are going to opposite ends of the political spectrum. Plaid Cymru and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK are neck and neck in the latest poll, although coalition maths make it highly unlikely Reform would be able to form a government. Continue reading...

Poll projects major political earthquake across Britain with Labour losing Wales and England’s Red WallGood morning. Wes Streeting, the health secretary, is publishing a revised women’s health strategy for England today. As Andrew Gregory reports, the strategy implicitly accepts that women have been let down by a (largely male) medical establishment which has not always taken their health concerns seriously.But, for Labour, this is not just a health announcement. The English local elections are just over three weeks away, and Labour is using this announcement as a platform to attack Reform UK, saying that Nigel Farage’s party can’t be trusted to stand up for women.1. Reform want to reopen the debate on abortion limitsNigel Farage has described the current 24-week abortion limit as “utterly ludicrous” and called for Parliament to revisit it - raising concerns about rolling back long-established reproductive rights.Today Labour is taking action to fix a system that has too often ignored women - cutting waiting lists, improving care and putting women’s voices at the centre.But Reform’s record speaks for itself. From attacking reproductive rights to undermining protections at work, they simply can’t be trusted to stand up for women.If these results come to pass, we will be looking at a major political earthquake across Britain.It could be the worst local election ever for Labour in England, a collapse for the Conservatives in their historic Blue Wall heartlands, and a brutal third place for Starmer’s party in Wales.

Sacking of Simon Dudley is latest distraction at a time when party is keen to show it is serious contender for governmentIt was a week that started with a candid admission from Nigel Farage when asked if his party’s vetting process was now finally up to scratch. “I accept that at the last general election, basically there was no vetting really,” the Reform UK leader said after the latest of what a senior colleague had described as a “series of abhorrent incidents”.The latest had involved a Welsh Senedd candidate, Corey Edwards, who was forced to step down after a picture of him appearing to do a Nazi salute surfaced online.

Greater Manchester mayor says the party ‘would always do well to listen to what Angela has got to say’Good morning. Keir Starmer has been handling the Iran war reasonably well, according to the consensus view at Westminster, and certainly better than Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, who have been in contortions over whether they do or do not support Donald Trump. But this has not altered the fundamental, big-picture assessment of British politics, which is that he is deeply unpopular with voters and that Labour can’t win the next election if he remains in charge. This may be a flawed analysis – consensus views often are – but it is what many Labour MPs think, which is why a question mark hovers over Starmer’s leadership.And that is why Angela Rayner’s speech last night, at a private meeting with the soft-left Mainstream group, are so significant. She did not explicitly call for new leadership, but she did convey that message implicity – and more bluntly than in any of her other interventions since she resigned as deputy PM in September last year.It is down to us to rebuild this nation and this party – the question is are we up for this fight? I know we in this room are.As a party, and as a movement, we cannot hide, we cannot just go through the motions in the face of decline. There’s no safe ground and we’re running out of time.We cannot talk about earning a settlement if we keep moving the goalposts. Because moving the goalposts undermines our sense of fair play. It’s un-British.Let us be a country that has sustainable economic migration rules, but one that upholds the British values we want all who live here to respect. Not special treatment. But the stability and a fair pathway forward after the sacrifices many have made to build a lawful life in the UK.We’ve got to, all of us, haven’t we, work together to pull together a plan that turns the country around …I understand the frustration people feel. We heard that at the by-election, and of course, Angela is reflecting some of that.I think where I would agree, and I think everybody across government would agree, is sharing an impatience with the pace of change, and that applies to every single one of us.And I get the sense, I haven’t read the full context of Angela’s remarks, but I get the sense that that frustration is actually what is running through her remarks. It absolutely runs through every government minister as well. Continue reading...

Race to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat provides glimpse into midterms with Iran and immigration on voters’ mindsEarlier this week, a steady trickle of voters casting ballots in Dalton at Georgia’s City Hall offered a glimpse into what may be changing fortunes for Democrats in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former congressional district.The district hasn’t elected a Democrat since it was created after the 2010 Census. But the party’s candidate Shawn Harris drew the most votes district-wide – about 37% – on Tuesday and now faces Clay Fuller, a Trump-endorsed former prosecutor as his opponent in an April runoff election. The winner will finish Greene’s term until November, when a whole new election will take place. Continue reading...
With membership soaring, the Green party is grappling with logistics, culture shifts and a flood of new activistsIt is, as one Green activist put it, a never-ending series of “constantly good problems to have”.

Before Zack Polanski took over as leader last September, the Greens in England and Wales had around 66,000 members. They are now at 215,000, and still rising at speed. Continue reading...
