We haven't heard from Zack for a while, but he's popped up today as Mr Straight Talker about the USA, unlike silly deluded mainstream politicians who don't get that there's a problem. Detaching from the US would presumably involve a lot more defence spending, which seems pretty un-Zack. Unless what he actually means is the UK detaches itself from European defence. Which might cause a few problems for his EU aspirations.

I see he called for free buses for under 22s yesterday. Of course, anyone can call for more free stuff, but this is what the Greens should be doing. I'd have something like a Young Person's Railcard, that was reduced rather than free.

As others have said, he's doing all this talk from X. I have no idea why it's OK for him to use it but not the Government.

Yeah a national railcard that subsidises travel perhaps you could limit it to say off peak or super off peak.

Would be nice on the 8-10 journeys I make to Cornwall a year.

I don't know if he has said the Government should leave X, in fairness to him. But lots of people who think the Government should get off their seem to be giving him an easy time.

He's popped up again with his NATO rubbish. And predictable populist rubbish about water, where he apparently expects sewage to be fixed with no increase to bills. You borrow a load of money, nationalize the companies, and it just happens.

I don't think I've ever seen a more vacuous politician of the left. But as the record company guy on the old Kit Kat advert said, he'll go along way.

Sounds like the bloke who signed up E17 (on a Boy Band documentary still on the iPlayer).
What makes you stand out?
We've got a dog.
I can work with that.

Does Zack want to form a pan European military superpower? Don’t understand where else his pitch takes him. Can't see it going down well with long standing Green peaceniks or Corbynista defectors.

However, it's the sort of crap the left, pseudo-Greens and Guardian BTLers love.
