The last thing the Green Party needs is a white privately educated male leader. Progressives need working class communicators at the fore, straight talking figures like Mick Lynch or Rayner, not alienating poshness. That kind of person fronting Labour or Greens would actually challenge Farage.

False accounting is a criminal offence. Innocent Post Office postmasters were jailed for it.
So how come there is no attempt to prosecute *utterly false* accounts? When the High Court has already ruled the accounts were forged?
