The last thing the Green Party needs is a white privately educated male leader. Progressives need working class communicators at the fore, straight talking figures like Mick Lynch or Rayner, not alienating poshness. That kind of person fronting Labour or Greens would actually challenge Farage.

False accounting is a criminal offence. Innocent Post Office postmasters were jailed for it. So how come there is no attempt to prosecute *utterly false* accounts? When the High Court has already ruled the accounts were forged?

Food Banks are not part of the Welfare State. They are a tax break for corporations to get rid of stuff they don't want, and a way to fleece the poor to feed the poor. Nearly 90% of donations to Food Banks come from individuals who are not wealthy.

British Rail was 3x cheaper than privatised rail, fares were much cheaper, more trains were on time, in fact everything was better. But to do it properly we must buy back the trains too, currently we hire trains worth £5bn for £1.3bn a year, even though they last 25 years.
