Neither Green MPs nor anyone from the Lambeth Green Party, which is trying hard to make inroads into prize London Labour territory, has bothered to spell Polanski’s name correctly in their latest video. Believe it or not it’s his first name they’ve mucked up…
New Green MP Hannah Spencer, the Lambeth Green branch, and its main election candidate have all posted a video of Spencer at a local event. In which she waxes lyrical about supreme leader “Zach”…
“Because in the Greens, we are different to every other party. We do not believe in a hierarchy where our leader tells us what to do. As much as we love Zach [sic], he’s not our boss.”
Polanski – under fire from all sides for his intervention in the Golders Green situation – has been saying no to broadcast media bids today before apologising for his retweet this afternoon. Rattled?
Father Ted co-creator and pro-women campaigner Graham Linehan has had his criminal damage conviction overturned. It must be Friday…
Linehan was found guilty of damaging a transgender activist Sophia Brooks’ phone during an altercation in Westminster on 19 October 2024. At Southwark crown court judge Mrs Justice Amanda Tipples overruled his conviction:
“Having considered all the evidence before us, we cannot be sure that the damage to the complainant’s phone was caused by Mr Linehan on the evening of the 19th of October 2024. We therefore found Mr Linehan not guilty of the offence.”
So ends that ordeal…
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
