Do Green voters know what they’ve done?

The Green party has done well at the local elections, making dozens of gains across England. But do those who voted Green, perhaps for the first time, realise what they have done? If not, they will spend the next four years regretting their vote. Perhaps the party’s name led them to naively conclude that the Greens are an organisation focused solely on caring for the environment. They thought their vote was about protecting England’s green and pleasant land. But they have been deceived.

The truth is that the Greens sometimes appear more eager to talk about a trans person’s ‘right’ to use the ladies’ loo than defend our countryside. This is a party that still, remarkably, appears unable to answer a simple question: what is a woman?

Following the Supreme Court’s verdict on that question last month, many politicians – including even Keir Starmer – finally regained their common sense.
