These numbers should concern Polanski and the Greens. We talk a lot about how Reform have gone backwards since winning the locals. But the Greens are in reverse too.
New from @Ipsos_in_the_UK Zack Polanski favourability ratings fall to worst ever as leader.
- 52% are now unfavourable towards Polanski (+6 from Sept).
- 16% favourable (-2).
This is the highest % unfavourable we have found for Polanski & the lowest % favourable.

Perceptions of Andy Burnham's political identity have strengthened since entering Number 10.
Prior to becoming PM only 37% thought it was clear what he stood for. However, since he's become Prime Minister this has jumped to 57%.

Match wrap | Mansfield Town 1 Oxford United 1
Luca Lynch plays like he's channelling static electricity; a full-bodied movement reminiscent of Joey Beauchamp. He agitates and twitches, confounding and confusing the defence as he descends on them a pace.

Happy New Forest #FingerpostFriday. Not sure the cycle route signs add much to the aesthetic impact!
I’m no conspiracy theorist, but the combination of the Kioso sending off, 7 (seven) extra minutes & the Banishment of Brodie Spencer really makes me wonder. Bravo to the unflinching defending at the end & to @GeorgeElek for getting the London #oufc supporters together in SE1! 💛
FT: Mansfield 1 #oufc 1. United take a point but end the match with 9 players after O’Donkor and Kioso both sent off for second yellow cards

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The Society is appalled by the destruction of the former All Souls Church on Every Street, Ancoats, Manchester, demolished last week after standing for more than 180 years. For generations, it had been a place of worship and a centre of community life.

I thank His Majesty King Charles III for the audience. It is important for me to have the opportunity to personally thank him for his unwavering support for Ukraine. We appreciate all the assistance provided by the United Kingdom.
