Another labour critical piece by sky.
How many is that now this week?
I think a huge feather has just knocked me over.
As an aside greta is boss and the fact that she can give middle aged, middle class white men an annurism is a delightful bonus. |

Promise 15k school kids and students an afternoon off to protest global warming? Not exactly a tough ask by the greens is it? 
Hope they made sure their I.phones were fully charged by fossil fuel generated electricity in order to take all those selfies for twit-book.  |

There's a surprise it saying the same thing. I wonder if the 140 workers from cammell laird who have been made redundant would have liked a new royal yacht to build.  |

It's not just the students. The Greens have been popular in Bristol for a while. Many of the wards don't have any students living in them.
In the last couple of GEs the Greens nearly gained a second seat in parliament.
The city is a pretty progressive place, so the disaffected Labour voters went green rather than blue. |

"If Labour can't take the Shires, and now their metropolitan base is under attack, then they really do have problems. "
Yup. At some point everyone in Labour voters/members/politicians need to hear the message - 'what is your relevance, say it clearly'. Until then, they are rapidly becoming the Wilderness Party. |

"Awww Not suit you?
As every single one of your posts and answers on here begins and ends with a tory slagging off.
 "
It's pretty standard. First attack the source trying to make it look like a pack of lies. Don't look into if the content is correct and if asked say your not interested ( while continuing to rubbish the story they not interested in). Insist its a non story and is anti Labour or anti Europe ect . I'm sure I missed many other quotes but I'm sure you get the gist. Basically they would prefer such news not reported |

Bristol has always been a super progressive city…. Labour, Lib Dem’s and Greens have always done well
Be interesting to see what they do…. |

"If Labour can't take the Shires, and now their metropolitan base is under attack, then they really do have problems. "
Apparently, Green was second choice for many London voters in the Mayoral election so there is some truth to that. |

The green candidate came second in the run for mayor in Bristol too. It was reasonably close from the first count, but the Labour guy retained it by a decent majority after the second votes were counted. |
