BBC at it again

From the BBC:

Reform UK - formerly the Brexit Party - came third with 6.6% of the vote, with the party's leader and candidate Richard Tice describing it as a "massive result".

The Green Party and Liberal Democrats both lost their deposits.

That's not what it said this morning - screenshot from phone. The fact that Reform UK came third just didn't register properly and had already been forgotten when the next sentence was written:

Local politics: the huge differences between the Greens and the Conservatives

From their local election leaflets:

GREENS DEFEND GREEN BELT

Councillor Steven Neville has won a concession as a result of the Green Belt Review, which is part of Epping Forest District Council's new Local Plan for Epping Forest.

Buckhurst Hill will now be classed as a large village rather than a town, which gives extra protection for our Green Belt.

And from the Conservatives' leaflet:

Until recently I was chairman of the panel which scrutinised developing our Local Plan and I will continue to ensure that Buckhurst Hill and our Chigwell neighbours receive the best deal possible in any local plan development.

Along with local residents, I spoke directly with the District Councillor in charge of Planning in Epping Forest District, arguing that Buckhurst Hill must not become a town but should remain classified as a village.

I chucked away the Lib Dem leaflet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had said something similar. And as a matter of fact, Buckhurst Hill is neither a village nor a town, it is a commuter suburb.

Green Party

From the BBC

Ms Bennett dismissed suggestions it was downplaying its core environmental message, saying the party was in the front line of opposition to fracking and confronting climate change.

She challenged David Cameron to personally attend the UN climate summit in New York at the end of the month. It has been reported that the leaders of China and India will both skip the event.

Surely "by video conference"? Or doesn't it count towards boiling Gaia if you go to a climate conference?
