The Greens, reanimating the "Al Gore had a lift on a private jet" meme.

And another. The objection to Sunak is that the private flights are only happening because he won't use (easily available) public transport (for which his government are responsible). I'm guessing the situation in Qatar may not be quite the same.

The Greens don't seem to be doing well in council by-elections. Labour will be encouraged by that. In 2015, the Greens were a big nuisance to them.

Greens for show, Red for pro. Possible people are concentrating on getting the Tories out, or Labour unity and message discipline is cutting through.

Doesn’t particularly seem that way though. LDs seem to do well mind so I do think of all the parties there numbers might actually be higher. I think if you are Labour you feel slightly more open to the LDs than say the Greens considering what’s happened in recent months with the movement of certain people over there.

I also can’t really take a party that up until last year was against NATO all that seriously, I’m sorry, they still feel like small c conservatives in some places as well.

I can actually see them gain Bristol and lose Brighton. Shame as I think the Bristol MP is one of the better Labour ones, then again Brighton I learnt only this week is being challenged by a former member of the ban Gomez for Labour, which I’m a fan of as they came from Southport.

I wonder how many Labour voters are more sympathetic to the Lib Dems because, 2010 notwithstanding, they're seen as our reserve team whereas the Greens are a different, still comparatively unknown, entity.

Why do they talk this rubbish? Number of empty homes is very small compared to other countries, and lots of them are in places nobody much wants to live.

Of course, I think you don't just need market rate private housing. But aside from reducing rents for lots of people, it surely helps to raise funds to build social housing with?

It'll be hard for Labour to build what they're saying they will, but they must be doing cartwheels at how the Greens are going down this silly road.

She is right in saying alone it will be not enough, none of the plans will help either mind.
