Devon County Council leader Julian Brazil tells the BBC Ed Davey is not the right person to lead the party.

Proposals to merge smaller councils to form larger authorities have been paused or withdrawn in a number of areas.

We are very lucky to have such talented Comedians willing to entertain us for free so we can raise funds for a Green MP for Worcester. Back in June we held our biggest comedy night to date and had a wonderfully entertaining time whilst raising over £1,300 for the local party. Dave Flynn our fabulous MC and our very own member Comedian is assembling another army of talent for September the 4th. Let's see if we can hit an even bigger audience number than last time and lift the roof off. This is an ideal event to introduce the Green Party to your friends and family, especially the broad minded ones. There will of course be a bar staffed by our Councillors and members. Last time we had to top up the bar from Asda half way through. Prices are reasonable and there will be a wide range of alcoholic and soft drinks and snacks. Raffle prizes will include Green Party Merchandise and other contributions from members. Get your tickets early, we could well sell out again
