Looking forward to the Greens receiving the same level of media attention as Farage now …

@JimmyB @CarolineLucas Radio 4 did something similar at Lunch time. All about Farage even before mentioning the Lib Dem success (justified apparently by the popular vote stats) and then finished the section with “and the greens also go 4 seats”. The rise of fascism is purely on the shoulders of the media!
@cyberspice @CarolineLucas it really is.
Dealing with our press should be #Starmer no 1 priority if he actually believed in democracy.
He doesn’t agree of course
@CarolineLucas @WilliamNB Farage on Radio 4 this morning, moaning that FPTP works against him, prompted the Beeb to do an in-depth piece on why PR is the better system.
Obviously the Greens, and others, have been pointing this out for years but no one was listening.
Now he has asked for it, it is getting attention.
@CarolineLucas iTV news last night: absolute disgrace. 5 minutes on Farage. Cut away after 30 seconds from the Greens and without showing any of the acceptance speech. This is fascist Britain.
