Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: Green Party co-leader praises leaked Labour manifesto

Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas praised parts of the leaked document, including proposed plans to nationalize the rail and energy sectors.  The Green Party co-leader did criticize the document as well, however, saying it was disappointing to see reference to nuclear power. Lucas was speaking at the launch of the Greens Environment Manifesto at the Woodbury Wetlands in London on 11 May. May 11, 2017

Iranian President Rouhanis car attacked and pelted with eggs during campaign visit

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was met by angry protesters during a visit to Azadshahr in northern Iran, on 7 May, several days after a tragic mining accident killed over 30 coal miners. Iranian Student News Agency reports claim that the majority of workers and widows who came to hear Rouhani speak were respectful and patient, but several men who attacked the car appeared to have arrived from elsewhere and disguised themselves as mining employees.
