So, rail fares not going up is totally the same as rail fares going up.

Right.

You can promise that every day will be the first day of Spring or you can set yourselves as a serious party of government. You can't do both.

In fairness to Zack he's offered clarification on tax policy. Clarification in the sense of waffle that usually starts with "let me be clear".

The logic seems to be that we carry on having underfunded everything while there's inequality. We certainly have more of that than other places, but that's not to say we've just got billionaires and paupers. The vast majority of those people are in between, just like in Denmark. No reason, if you seriously believe think the money you say is needed, that you can't raise tax on most of these people, except starting higher than Denmark does to allow for greater poverty in the UK. That might not be particularly popular in Clifton, Brighton or indeed North Herefordshire. So they're stuck with the wealth tax, and a few other things. Which really isn't that much different to Rachel Reeves. By all means, run on that, but you're going to have your share of "tough choices" too.

Deputy leader of the Greens here

Jesus. Does he really not understand inflation, nor know what the Government's rail policy is?

Probably not. I never worked out why they didn't make Chown deputy leader over this clown.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I don't know if Chowns could run for leader and deputy at the same time.

Mothin is joint deputy leader with Rachel Millward, who has local council executive experience. If I hadn't seen Mothin's tweet there, I'd say that was a good combination.
