I don’t think enough is made of the fact that Boris Johnson handed his brother, Jo Johnson, a peerage.

The guy was an MP for less than a decade and served for small periods in various junior minister roles. Absolutely nothing spectacular or distinguished about his political career. Certainly nothing to justify having a seat for life in the HoL.

How you can save the planet on one hand but want to help millions of people become more vociferous consumers on the other, I have no idea.

That’s a really good point. When are you planning to move the other way to become a less vociferous consumer?

The Greens are a decent left wing party, with on the whole good policies.

I saw part of an interview with joint leader Jon Bartley yesterday, and he was explaining, the Green Party is a Socialist party, not just a one issue party with a whole range of policies.

My only criticism of the Greens is the name....it conjures up visions of hippy tree huggers etc.

They should change the name IMO...I'll think of a few names, and i might email them.

One thing is for sure, under plank Starmer, Labour is f*cked. What happened yesterday will get worse as the next 18 months pass by.

Who is this ‘Green Party’? Is it the elephant’s graveyard for all the loony left-wingers who still do not understand that anti-semitism beliefs are wrong?
