Tell us more.

Was she pressed on the effect of subsidizing the rich to buy energy they don't need in a worldwide shortage?

I can't face that, so I'll take a guess: let's spend a load of money on everything except Defence, and someone else will pay for it?

[The Weeping Angel]

He really is incredibly petty.

[Bones McCoy]

Ohhh ... bitch fight!

[Tubby Isaacs]

Is she exaggerating here? Lots of people have become MPs before her, including from parties that have no interest in being cosy and club-like. I can't recall anyone being as shocked and stunned as she seems to be. Do Green MPs who hang around for ages waiting for votes not drink as well?

[Youngian]

Maybe Sian Berry and Adrian Ramsey knock em back. There used to be a bar the Tories called the Kremlin which was occupied by Labour MPs and union leaders 'on business' taking advantage of Westminster's very reasonable drink prices. Fights weren't a rarity.

[The Weeping Angel]

I cannot believe MPs drink alcohol. I've never heard of them doing that before.

[Youngian]

Sam Rushworth is suggesting the notorious boozy culture in parliament is a thing of the past just like other professions. He has been there longer than two weeks unlike Hannah Spencer, the Poundshop Mhairi Black.

Problem seems to be that LD and Greens can say whatever they like but Labour cannot answer back.

I am getting tired of this new Green MP already...... Effectively she's become "well at least she isn't Goodwin", but the real loses seem to be Gorton and Denton. Then again they could have voted Labour.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Replace Labour because some Labour MPs have said that it’s not unreasonable to have a drink when you’re waiting around all hours to vote?

This reminds me of (of all people) Peter Mandelson on Any Questions 30 odd years ago talking up some comments the then Government had made on the D Day anniversary into a big political issue. It’s pathetic stuff.

Ellie Chowns and Carla Denyer may fancy a drink occasionally. Hope for their sake they aren’t seen having one now.

Absolutely. I get that they're a small (parliamentary) party, so they'll have to be creative about how they get attention, but the other MPs (elected before Zack) seem to get on with it much more than she does. This constant personalizing is going to get very wearing. Has she done any green politics since election?

[Youngian]

Farage of course has something to say in defence MPs having an honest pint after work. Apparently its mad to stop them when you want to legalise heroin like the Greens or something.
Maybe Farage and Polanski could govern together. To implement their simple common sense plans. Running the country, how hard's that?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Fair play to Ellie Chowns here. She knows that the leader talks rubbish.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Polanski defended the Green party’s drugs policy, saying it wants not just to legalise drugs but “regulate” them too. He told Sky News that, under the party’s plans, the supply of harder drugs would be in “the hands of a medical health professional”.

Seems to be a mix of decriminalization and prescribing to addicts. I could be persuaded of that.

Glad to see there is some sense.
