Brilliant bit of wry self-deprecation/ bitchiness about a successor [delete where applicable] on the Lib Dems' daft press stunts.

24 years ago: enjoying my first post-victory pint with the Green Party's Margaret Wright (sadly no longer with us) following my election to the London Assembly and the start of a sixteen-year stint in frontline politics. I do look happy!

I think it's weird for councillors of secular political parties, open to people of all faiths and none, to be ramming religion down people's throats in their victory speeches. I certainly didn't give a speech about atheism when I was elected to Lewisham Council for the Greens.

Now we need our political leaders to listen to the people. New polling by ECIU before the elections showed 76% of those planning to vote support the UK’s national climate targets. eciu.net/media/press-re…

The local election results show people support strong green policies that protect our health and the planet 💪🌍

Heavy losses for the Conservatives show that the govt’s backtracking on green pledges and attempts to turn climate into a culture war issue are backfiring.
