@allende1973 I was interviewed and then realised it was by the BBC so asked to stop the interview. They were surprised to be challenged.

The #Greens gained 5 councils and 440 seats

The #LiberalDemocrats gained 3 councils and 152 seats

Which party leader do you think the media chooses to interview over the other?

As of May 2026, reports from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) and UNICEF indicate that over 21,000 children have been killed in #Gaza since October 2023. This figure represents approximately 30% of the total recorded fatalities.

But ​beyond these direct casualties, thousands more children are reported missing or buried under rubble, and at least 44,000 have been injured. In October 2025, UNICEF noted that the combined number of children killed or maimed had reached 64,000.
