The Green Party have as many seats as Reform so let's hope they get the same coverage as Farage going forward.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

Four new MPS for Greens inc my new MP Carla Denyer in Bristol Central She told me a yr ago, over a coffee round the corner, that she was going to stand 💚 All of our 14 councillors in the constituency are @TheGreenParty They’ve built rapidly in Bristol You give me hope🙏🏼
