If I've got the right one, she's Sarah Louise Green, from Acton and chair of Ealing Liberal Democrats. She's a former Executive Director of the Social Liberal Forum which is sort-of a left faction within the party, and a member of the Liberator editorial collective (also placing her on the party's left). Currently running Green and Ginger, a training consultancy. She stood in East Acton ward at the 2018 Ealing council election. uk.linkedin.com/in/sarah-green-ukYes. Graduate of Aberystwyth University, contested Ynys Mon in 2005 snd Arfon in 2010.
Yes.
Presented Blue Peter in the mid-1980s.
Married Mike Smith then prevented his TOTP episodes from being re-broadcast.

No, that Sarah Green disappeared into the basement of a house in Ruislip in 1992. |

ilerda, it would make sense. Especially as the NFU is based in Warwickshire, and therefore would fit into what you say.

That Sarah Green was actually a Sarah Greene. Ghostwatch was probably the most innovative programme the BBC have ever done. They had to bury it after too many people complained and it's still quite difficult to find today. Inspired Derren Brown's 'Seance.' |

Don't recall being that impressed by her at the hustings, but then again, that was over 11 years ago now. I hope she's given more thought to various topics in the meantime. |

I don't think electing Liberal MPs in Bucks has been 'trendy' since Baron Rothschild defected to the Liberal Unionists |

Being noted by some that the Tory candidate closest to the leadership (da Costa) missed out on the Tory nomination here.

I don't think electing Liberal MPs in Bucks has been 'trendy' since Baron Rothschild defected to the Liberal Unionists I was trying to refer to the fact that the constituency branch of the Lib Dems voted for Green to be their PPC. I'm certainly not treating this by-election as a nailed-on Lib Dem gain, or suggesting that such practices are in fashion again.  |

True enough, but since the Tory is presumably not living in the constituency it does not matter much. A car salesman. Interesting choice |

I have totted up the local elections. A bit tricky since the ordnance survey have not caught up with the unitary ward/division boundaries. However there is a handy map here: buckscc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=fccb21fc1a6f43e4b5d1b4fb299d16a0It was an election with 3 elected per ward, so I have used the top vote method , including the top vote of various independents, WEQ etc Tory 43% Lib Dem 24% Green 17% Lab 10% other 6% Lib dems have one councillor, in Chiltern Ridges, one Mohammed Fayyaz, who came second. They came 4th behind the three Tories in 5 wards. Greens came 4th in 2 wards. Lab came 4th with an Asian candidate in Chesham (And I see Ed Davey visited a mosque there in March...) Ward results are here buckinghamshire.moderngov.co.uk/mgElectionResults.aspx?ID=1&V=1Wards used: Amersham and Chesham Bois; Chalfont St Giles; Chalfont St Peters; Chesham; Chess Valley; Chiltern Ridges; Great Missenden; Little Chalfont and Amersham Common; Penn Wood and Old Amersham, if anyone wants to use a different calculation |

It also got the highest turnout in the referendum (83.6%) anywhere other than Gibralter, with an estimated 55% Remain
Lib Dems topped the poll in the EU elections with 31.9%, just ahead of BXP on 30%. I guess that explains why we moved from third to second in the 2019 GE with a swing from Con of 9.3%
