Probably sees Vetinari as a role model....

I suspect they think the purpose in life for us plebs is to be a cog in the machine that allows them and their peers to have a fulfilled life.

20,000 new members have joined the Green Party in the past month.

British food, you mean like curry, pizza, bananas and potatoes?

I certainly remember opposition MPs seeming to take their role in government as official opposition a lot more seriously, but then how much of what we see is filtered through what the media want to show us and their need for 24hour attention grabbing news.

Finally!!! The real scandal of the asylum hotels. Why, instead of shining the light on these parasites, months were spent on demonising vulnerable people at their mercy?

Britain isn't just England

Yep, you're probably right. I did wonder that just as I hit the reply button.

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

I think he'd spoil his vote in an accidentally amusing way, because he thinks they're all useless.

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

The fact that neither Labour nor conservatives investigate this makes you wonder how many overseas lobbyists skeletons they have hiding in their closets...

Just joined Green party because you're offering positive, fair solutions to our worlds biggest problems and actually listening to real people's concerns, while all other parties seem to be imploding in a Westminster echo chamber that's heading right at an alarming rate.

Too late, he already has.

Never going to get my vote again, and made me so disappointed that for the first time in my life I've joined a political party (greens).

Green Party membership is soaring — we’re now bigger than the Lib Dems 💚

Real hope. Real change.

Join the Green Party today.

Can we point them in the direction of www.plainenglish.co.uk.

If you cant communicate your message in plain English then you don't have anything worth sharing.

(Embarrassing 2nd attempt after first had too many typos 🤪)

Wow, they have a way of talking that probably makes them feel smug and clever, but just makes normal people think `tosser`.

I gave up after 4 paragraphs, do they actually say anything meaningful?

That's a possibility.

If labour and cons. carry on as they are I think it's more likely that they'll both become dinosaurs and next ge in England will be between greens, lib dems and Reform.

The more 'centrist' (right) labour become, the more they lose their traditional voter base.

Or maybe, and this is a long shot, how about honouring manifesto pledges and standing on policies that are in line with your honestly held values, rather than playing politics and hoping to get tactical votes.

Playing politics is why we're where we are.

Zack Polanski delivers first conference speech as Green Party leader The newly-elected leader of the Green Party in England and Wales has used his party conference speech to attack the Labour Party and Reform UK.

What a first day of conference!

Time to repeat my prediction that next gen election in England will be between Greens, Lib Dems and Reform, assuming reform don't self destruct by then.

“From Russian bribes to Musk beaming onto big screens advocating violence, we can’t go on pretending that this isn’t happening. That there are not powerful interests, state and private, East and West, pouring billions into destabilising our democratic processes and institutions.”

Not sure which is worse, the pathetic defense, or the fact she believes Kemi Badenoch has influence or ability.

Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040

"For the next 15 years, give us a subsidy from public money, and remove the disincentive for us to stop dumping raw sewage, so our creditors are rescued from the consequences of their own greed" is not, I have to say, the world's most appealing pitch. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thank you.

I second comments already made about the growing irrelevance of the official opposition and how this is completely counter to the evidence.

Disappointing to see how easily Bad Enoch is influenced by external lobbyists.

A question for Times columnist Sebastian Payne:

What is this cheaper source of "energy" that you speak of?
