In the spirit of consistency, I do hope Badenoch will be constantly asked "Where's the money coming from?"

Q on Politics Live: Why is inheritance tax so unpopular, despite so few paying it? Answers offered: Double taxation; against aspiration; something something British psyche. Answer not offered: Media owners, pundits, politicians (i.e. everyone in that studio), and pollsters would be caught by it.

Some people here don't seem to have understood the purpose of a political party. It's not the same as a protest movement. It is a vehicle designed to get into government, to change legislation and make a material difference to the lives of people at home and abroad.

Let me try this once more. It was a choice. EITHER the Greens adopted a slogan. OR they could have joined the next govt, where they could push for an end to arms sales, sanctions, support for the arrest warrants etc. It was never going to be both. Which one makes a material difference? #GazaGenocide

For the sake of a slogan achieving nothing except great concern and distress to British Jews, Green members have probably destroyed any hope that a party - their party - which consistently and clearly opposes the #genocide will join the next government.

'What Tucker does not understand about the War is that it impoverished us, yes, but it also united and redefined us. Arguably, it civilised the whole continent, exposing racism as evil, Darwinian ethics as the road to Hell. We favour common security not out of wokeness but from bitter experience.'

The thing is, this isn't some gotcha memory test about "what precise amount of money will this cost/raise" of the type beloved by interviewers in election campaigns. It's the most basic question imaginable - "how will this thing work?" She has no idea.

I am deeply saddened that the "Zionism is Racism" motion has passed.
As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way. 

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.
