Wait goes on in Kensington as counting is postponed

09 Jun 2017  |  South West Londoner
The General Election results in Kensington remain undeclared due to a close race between Labour's Emma Dent Coad and Conservative Victoria Borwick, leading to multiple recounts. The count has been postponed due to a prior booking in the counting hall. Dent Coad's campaign has been successful, while Borwick has faced criticism for her Brexit stance and support for the Ivory trade. The final result is expected within the day.

Labour candidate praises supporters after overhauling Conservative majority to take Kensington

08 Jun 2017  |  South West Londoner
In a significant political upset, the Labour candidate Emma Dent Coad won the Kensington constituency, a seat traditionally held by the Conservatives since 1997. The election saw a higher voter turnout of 64%, up from 57% in 2015. Conservative candidate Victoria Borwick was defeated after multiple recounts. Labour's victory is attributed to a surge in their vote share by 11.1%, while the Conservatives experienced a 10.1% decrease. Liberal Democrat and Green Party candidates also saw increases in their vote shares. The results reflect a rejection of a hard Brexit and privatisation of the NHS, according to Green Party candidate Jennifer Dunham Nadel. The election was marked by fatigue among the staff, leading to a postponement of the final count. Dent Coad's win is also seen as an endorsement of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party.

Minor parties vie for votes across south west London ahead of general election

21 May 2017  |  South West Londoner
The article discusses the presence and role of minor political parties in the upcoming general election in south west London. It highlights that only seven minor parties will be on the ballot, a decrease from 20 in 2015. The Pirate Party UK, Women’s Equality Party, Christian People’s Alliance, and the Alliance for Green Socialism are some of the parties mentioned. The article covers their strategies, policies, and the challenges they face, such as the snap election called by Theresa May. It also touches on the impact of minor parties on mainstream politics, as seen with the Women’s Equality Party influencing major party policies. The Christian People’s Alliance is campaigning on faith-based issues, while the Alliance for Green Socialism focuses on environmental problems and socialism. Despite the struggle for attention amidst major issues like Brexit and NHS funding, minor parties aim to capitalize on voter fatigue and disillusionment with major parties.

Farage suggests there will be riots on the streets if Trump loses

09 Nov 2016  |  South West Londoner
Nigel Farage, the interim leader of UKIP, discussed the potential outcomes of the US Election on LBC, alongside Alex Salmond, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Chuka Umunna. Farage speculated that riots could occur if Donald Trump does not win and expressed his desire to become Trump's ambassador to Europe should Trump be victorious. Despite his hesitance to predict the election result, Farage showed support for Trump, referring to him as an 'alpha-male' and the leader of a 'people's army'. Farage has been a vocal supporter of Trump, drawing parallels between Trump's campaign and the Brexit movement in the UK, and has appeared with Trump at a campaign event in Mississippi.

Thom Yorke walks back out on stage to raucous applause from a crowd stretching as far as the eye can see.

13 Jul 2016  |  The Independent
The article discusses the unique appeal of Primavera Sound in Barcelona, which has gained a reputation for its distinctive lineups and international draw, with nearly half of its attendees coming from outside Spain. It contrasts Primavera Sound with UK festivals like Glastonbury, which faces competition from cheaper, sunnier foreign festivals. The article also touches on the financial challenges of running festivals, mentioning the administration of All Tomorrow’s Parties and the closure of Hop Farm. It highlights the success of smaller, more curated festivals like Leefest and Masked Ball, which focus on creating a unique experience rather than just a lineup. The article suggests that the key to a successful festival is diversity and catering to a global audience in the age of music streaming, where listeners' tastes are not confined to a single genre.
