That likely reflects the difference between Bristol Central and Waveney Valley.

Why don't they get rid of this co-leaders nonsense? Carla Denyer has looked fine as leader, except for when she's having to explain away why her co-leader opposes pylons in his constituency. Her view on trans rights will be the one the Greens put forward in constituencies they're targeting too, in cities.

Yeah, Starmer! Why are you spending money on weapons? The welfare bit is entirely fair comment of course.

From my MP.

It’s time government dropped their war on nature and instead start thinking about how we can deliver the affordable house building we need, and the national infrastructure we all rely on, in a way that works with and for nature, and not against it. The impact assessment makes it abundantly clear that the existing planning and infrastructure bill does not currently do this.

As always, opponents-nimbies never point out that there's a nature restoration fund that offsets local damage. There are questions about how near the offsets should be, but that's not a "war on nature". To use the canonical example, £100m is a lot of money to protect one colony of bats when it could do far more good for bats and everything else if spent on other projects.

I'm getting slightly impatient with the "bad Labour chasing Reform on immigration, but not those houses there" line from the Greens and the Lib Dems. Gabrial Pogrund described the Greens as basically the party for gardeners, and there's some truth in that. How do all these affordable houses get built where people want to live? Wealth tax, no doubt.

It’s literally everything, masts, transport infrastructure anything that will improve things.
