The Greens are the viable option now.

We'll see in a few years. Personally I need to look at their policies properly nearer the time.

I’m as cynical as most yet I appear to be one of the few that doesn’t hate Labour. Of course they could do better, think first to save u-turning later, Starmer is more a Foreign Secretary than PM but I think they’re trying to change things for the better but it would be hard with some spare cash, without it it is almost impossible.

Yeah, by and large the politics is worse than the policies

Polanksi makes Greens admission after alleged antisemitism from election candidates

www.independent.co.uk

Under Jezza the cranks flooded to Labour, and antisemitism became rife. Then they went to YP and the same happened. Now they've dived into the Greens and likewise.

Why arent political parties more aware that these people are completely toxic?

It's the lack of volunteers they get to stand, combined with a desire for a full slate of candidates, leaving a pretty wide door open for exploitation. I'd rather a robust process without a full slate personally.

Money is leaving the Country via the railways and energy companies. I agree, foreign owned companies are setting themselves up to milk more profits out of the UK

Privatisation has been so badly implemented it's a failure.

 

[Tredman]

I thought we were already nationalising the railways?

Privatisation of the utilities and public transport should never have happened, I was raving about it at the time and still am, 40+ years is too long to be angry about anything but there I am.

Privatising the utilities was bad enough but the railways is an absolute scandal, we've managed to have the worst of both worlds, we pump more public money in than we ever did when it was nationalised while paying out shit loads of dividends.

We won't own the rolling stock under Labour’s plans.
