There will probably be no Green MPs after the next election, there definitely won’t be more than 1.

I'm watching a TV program about1974 and a journalist says that journalists  used to phone in a supposed sighting of lord Lucan to get an all expenses trip to somewhere nice.

Makes clear what untrustworthy scum journalists are.

So many Brits go to Goa that I can't see how he'd have been able to stay undiscovered. Or would even think he could stay undiscovered.

Ok, but tories are in power...so we kind of know what their actual polices are...whereas it is understandable that people want to know what Labour would do differently when they get in power.

By next election that will be the choice, same old with the Tories, or take a punt with Labour.

Exactly, double standards. Tories play politics on easy mode.

So you've said a few times.

The thing is, it's not like people are being critical of Labour AND giving the Conservatives a big free pass. Most of them will vote Labour and the Tories won't even get a look in.

Casting a critical eye on a political party before you lend them your support (I very intentionally use the word support instead of vote) is the right thing to do.

People give the Tories free passes all the time yet instantly moan the minute there's a headline about Labour they don't like. Case in point is the bad faith moans for years about Labour having no policies and no when the Tories say they don't have any ones there's silence. Double Standards.
