Would be nice if Labour were pro-remain, but no.

What the hell is the Conservative logo supposed to be?

They normally have tree as a logo. Never seen it superimposed with the Union Jack though.

It looks like a raggy flag that way. Not a bad choice I guess.

The Green Party doesn't support HS2?

And somebody tell me why Change UK has an "Open Menu" phone icon.

It's quite telling that Northern Ireland is ignored.

Well the chart said it was only for mainland UK.

RIP Brian Walden - Former MP and political interviewer.

Someone from the pre-Brexit era and a formidably interview and pundit. I used to really enjoy his intense but fair discussions about politics of the day. But note even his BBC 'obituary' can't escape the Brexit taint.

Brian Walden: Broadcaster and former Labour MP dies aged 86
12 May 2019 

Brian Walden, the TV interviewer and former Labour MP, has died at the age of 86.

The broadcaster was known for his tough political interviews, including with Margaret Thatcher in 1989 which helped speed up the then-prime minister's downfall.

Mr Walden died following complications from emphysema at his home in St Peter Port, Guernsey, on Thursday.

His widow, Hazel, said he was "always happy and got on well with people".

Mr Walden served as Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood from 1964 until 1977.

He was best known politically for an impassioned speech calling for the abolition of capital punishment.

It is an infrastructure improvement. No self-respecting Green can ever support such a thing. Where would that lead?

UK Greens are weird.

I would think most Green Parties would support a rail project. How odd. Is it running through a national park or something?

It's running through stuff. That seems to be enough.
