Is stepping down from the Green Party, shame, I remember her about 25 years ago outside the gate of my property stirring up a s storm over a communication mast that I had allowed on my land, the locals were convinced that they would be radioactive as soon as it went live, even someone who died of a hart attack was put down to it.

I also hear that Drakeford will be stepping down in Wales after the next election. That cannot come too soon, either.

I heard she was finding politics too much of a distraction for her interests in climate change etc. perhaps there’s more money in the latter? 🤷‍♂️

Careful...I sense a moderator's paw hovering over the 'lock thread' button...

So I'll just opine with: Absolutely zero point in the green party anyway, both Labour and Cons have adopted net zero as hard policy.  At this point all the greens have left is NIMBYism, even if it's against better public transport links.

What Dripford says and what he does rarely go together, he promised to go a long time ago but made excuses.

This, I imagine, might well be the reason for her leaving! She's too much of a politician trying to formulate a genuine multi-platform party, rather than what most green members are interested in, which is local politics and Nimbyism. Lucas leaving will kill the Green Party. They're their own worst enemy.

Should be called the monster  looney party they don't have a clue . The only good thing Wee Fat Eck Salmon did was build another forth road bridge They objected saying no need for it use public transport although i wouldnt have been able to get to my work for early shifts

Just don't drive over it in the winter when the ice is falling off!

I wonder if she will be given something in the new years honours - and maybe a job in Prince Williams charity - like Josinda from New Zealand...
