Leftish socially aware small business owner. (Yes a Chippy!) Living in Belfast. Loves politics, my husband and my French Bulldog Cybil. (In reverse order!) Hates Brexit and all those involved in it.
Also love cars, any type any age. Yes I’m that sad.

Perhaps. Listen to the interview with the News Agents podcast. He was, in parts, a little rattled and IMHO a bit testy and sometimes his argument seemed a little thin.
However he is the best thing to happen to the Greens.
Shame, being in Belfast, I can’t vote for him.

I agree. He has lifted the Greens from virtual political obscurity to being heard. No mean thing when most of the media is besotted with Deform.
The art of converting that to votes is a skill that is not easy.

I think you are right. Both Farage and Polanski tend to either wilt or get testy under scrutiny.
They better get used to it.

Johnson being ill prepared and blustering wrong response should be punished.

Division and confusion would be a more appropriate name for “your party”
The Greens proved that more than one leader didn’t and doesn’t work.
A sad inditement of confused thinking and infighting.

Higher rate mobility is difficult to get. My wheelchair bound friend only got it on appeal.
The right wing papers always look for the small percentage that cheats the system.
In this case the bad apple theory doesn’t apply.

So “Your Party” isn’t their party. Inclusiveness at its finest.
No wonder the Greens are resurging both in member numbers and polling data.

He passed the “can you see him as PM” test in the way that Corbin or Kinnock didn’t.
The press has a lot to answer.
