No one is surprised to see Jamie Driscoll join the Green Party. It is also hoovering up councillors in the London where it will hoover up councils next year. Zack Polanski is the most trusted Leader, with Kemi Badenoch ahead of Nigel Farage, although Badenoch should consider that William Hague also used to knock it out of the park at Prime Minister's Questions, while Farage should ponder that Labour had the most members of any political party in Europe under Jeremy Corbyn.
Jamie's record in office is a lot better than the record in office that the Greens already have in Scotland, Bristol and Brighton. Green MPs voted to overturn the Lords wrecking amendments to the Employment Rights Bill, but Green Peers had voted in favour of them. So there are two answers to those who pine for the old Greens. First, they are still there. And secondly, their party was nowhere near as popular when they ran it, as is no doubt what centrist commentators miss.
Like Polanski, Jamie will now be forbidden to correct a woman. But either of them could of course get round that by declaring himself to be one. Watch out for that as a way of avoiding conscription. And what of the haranguing to which teenage boys were to be subjected in school by the State for which they would then be expected to risk their lives and to take other people's? Would announcing that they were girls enable them to step into the next room and get on with whatever item of the academic curriculum that those sessions were going to replace?
