I've had the pleasure of a couple of Twitter discussions with him about climate change, he's mustard and I was glad he was on my side!

'We'll save money by abolishing the job seekers allowance'
'But that only costs £3 billion'
'Well it costs a lot to administer'.
Isn't the point that it replaces the whole welfare and pensions system rather than just jobseekers? That leaves them 'only' 25 billion or so to find. 'We'll save money by abolishing the job seekers allowance'

She didn't say that. She did refer to a 'wealth tax' on assets over £3 million that would apparently raise £30-45 billion, when it was pointed out that a similar French tax on assets over £800,000 raised a tenth of that "but that's a different country with a different system'.

Top-ups [will be] given for people with children or disabilities, or to pay rent and mortgages. No-one will see a reduction in benefits, and most will see a substantial increase. Parents will be entitled to two years’ paid leave from work.

So hairykrishna's fag packet sums need a rewrite, like the Green Party manifesto.After reading the manifesto and listening to that interview, only cluelessly naive students / dumb crusties / space cadet ultraleftists would consider the Green Party to be anything other than a laughing stock repository for the lost souls of mourning moaning marxists.

She's going to reverse the electricity through the windmills and blow away any invaders from the sea or air.
Bloody brilliant, it must be the Aussie in her.
Whoever that Aussie is, he must have mistaken her for a sheep
