Green Unpleasant?

Ed Davey's remarks about nuclear weapons may be enough to send Liberal Democrats over to the Green Party. Zack Polanksi should beware of MPs who had abstained, or sometimes worse, on workers' rights, on the proscription of Palestine Action, and on much else besides, although the Lib Dems' hawkishness on Ukraine reflects Greenery across Europe. Would he welcome people who had sat in the Coalition, but who had only now decided that their party had left them?

Like the Lib Dems, the Greens want to disestablish the Church of England, and since the Archbishop of Canterbury will not be attending Wednesday's Lords votes on the decriminalisation of abortion up to birth, then who would be able to tell the difference? But Her DisGrace is the least of those to be visibly threatened by the Greens.

Matt Goodwin was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's reviled candidate at Gorton and Denton, where his defeat led Reform UK to disown his definition of Britishness, leading to the assumption that he refrained from defecting to Restore Britain only in order to stay on GB News. Yet now he shares a platform with Labour Peers, and they with him. If you do not like Hannah Spencer's outfits, and you have never minded those of many a Tory "character", then try not to lose elections to her.
