This is literally just the Tory attack line by the way. The Green Party are dangerously out of touch and benefit nobody but the right.

Everything you need to set up a Labour Budget. Terms and conditions apply. Real action on the cost-of-living crisis sold separately.
Satirical "budget starter pack" from the Green Party contrasting austerity choices with labeled images: a red "fiscal rules" briefcase, jar of discount gherkins, luxury yacht with "dw about a wealth tax!", person wrapped in a blanket, empty wallet labeled "difficult choices (for you)", and

just heard someone say "people are more important than the economy" and it occurred to me that some people genuinely believe that others care about the economy because they like numbers going up and not because it drives living standards for the population

its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...

Foundation stone for Alfred Waterhouse's Manchester Town Hall was laid on this day 1868. Took almost 10 years to erect at a cost approaching £1m, described as ‘unequalled for size, completeness and adaptability for its purpose among the municipal buildings of Europe’.

"close by"
Dylan Lewis-Creser 💚@CreserDylanGrnOct 24
People acting like rejecting one supermarket is akin to starving people Not to mention that Bath already has a Lidl, so people still have access to them if they want to shop there! And close by! So much of modern planning discourse is fuelled by ideology over balancing things

Underratedly funny detail of this NIMBY extravaganza is that the Lidl literally would’ve been built with local stone

Under the Green Mayor Lewisham has lost a £1.5bn town centre plan. 1,700 homes. A park the size of a Premiership pitch. A music venue. 300+ trees. Approved under Labour. Shaped by 2,500+ residents. Landsec says the Greens’ refusal to back the next phase is part of why.
