Was wondering about doing an entryism in the Greens but it's too late already.

Would have been fun to try to swing them properly left. Scare off the Tories on bikes, get the angry kids in Bristol on board, kick Thangam out of her seat, persuade the SCG and a union or two to cross the aisle (or shuffle along the benches I suppose) and suddenly you're the third party in Westminster.

I remember the cons doing this before.
One of the elections before 1997, the cons big ads were 'labour will put income tax up 1%'. So I know more than a few people who voted con on that basis.
Cons won and promptly put NI up 1% affecting more lower paid people than 1% on income tax would have.

Even for the people who'd have been hit either way, they'll have paid more on an NI increase than an income tax one

I briefly joined the Scottish greens after the independence referendum along with many others and I remember there being a palpable awkwardness between the older environmentalist liberal types who'd been in the party for years and the new influx of much more openly socialist members, I imagine there'll be a similar feeling with the ex-Labour people joining atm

Social care absolutely needs proper funding, thank God we have an effective opposition to push for a reduction in the top end of personal allowance which would cover the cost easily.

Unrelated, Priti Patel is still going ahead with the idiotic idea of criminalizing personal possession of nitrous oxide and it makes me wonder when the last time any UK Home Office had an idea about drugs that wasn't "more working class youth with criminal records is good."

They're probably the only thing that might stop it becoming a class B drug offence to have a whipped cream maker, same as how Crispin Blunt saved poppers. Time to get him really into fresh cream on scones or whatever else he wants to put it on I guess.

It's the complete lack of exploration of other options that's frustrating, like you could allow for a minimum canister size and bottle deposit, like with sodastream bottles, and that'd take care of the littering problem and then mandate a big black box warning saying "this gas can cause fatal oxygen shortage and vitamin B12 deficiency" or whatever, but that doesn't allow you to selectively harass prole scum even more.
