"In the latest local elections, the Greens took more seats from the Conservatives than from Labour (32 to 31). It’s the second wave of a dramatic surge: in May last year, three-quarters of the party’s gains were from the Tories across the south, south-east & east of England. Much of this was in picturesque areas where, says Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay, locals feel “overlooked” or “left behind”.

"The Israeli military on Monday called on Palestinians to move out of the eastern parts of Rafah ahead of what it calls a ‘limited scope operation’ in Gaza’s south. The order came after a night of intense Israeli bombardment on Rafah killed 22 people, including eight children"

And so Israel’s ground operation in Rafah begins. Let's see how Biden and the US react to this blatant provocation.

If anything is an indicator of what to expect in the general election, it's how my constituency, Rushcliffe, voted in the East Midlands Mayor & PCC elections.
Rushcliffe is Kenneth Clark's old constituency & has voted conservative since 1918 with only 2 blips to Labour in 1945 and 1966. It voted Labour for both elections on Thursday (full results in link).

Heartening to see the Green candidate came third in the mayoral election.

@junesim63 It's my constituency too. I suspect that the old ones didn't bother to turn out. Personally, my vote was against Bradley. For PCC, I just added Nye Bevan.

Fascinating article from Tim Harford on whether Wright's Law or Moore's Law is the determining factor in the prices of new technology. If it's Wright's Law, we could have had a green transition years ago.

@junesim63 Supply-side issues are dominated by levels of profit margin as William Davies pointed out in recent LRB unless someone intervenes in the 'unmarket'.
