    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    I don't know, I don't get the amount of handwringing over an environmentalist party having one policy, as if it's a sign of pheasant-shagging obsessional crank dogma, rather than a stance that you'd probably expect the 'Green Party' to have. Like, not being funny but, what did you honestly...

    What made you happy today?

    My bed. It's really soft and warm and comfortable. Having finally come home to my folks for a bit after graduating from university in summer — I still live in that city usually so I haven't come down south for a while — I'm having a proper relax and actually unwinding — which TBH I need! Having...

    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    The existing Green party pitch is all about redistribution of wealth in response to the cost of living crisis, and given how much time Polanski has spent setting out that stall, I doubt that would change. This doesn't sound like it's a particularly significant policy point unless you write for...

    I believe it was the eminent philosopher Plato who stated thusly: "The worst form of justice is pretended justice." I will not pretend that this judgement has provided all of the justice which I have sought, for I have spent the past few hours unable to contribute and thus being forced to, in...

    LNER Stevenage Pickup/Setdown

    I think where there's an existing expectation, that's fine — the fact is that the timetable change means that, at face value, Stevenage has had a large slice of its services to and from London axed. (Similarly, Retford-to-Newark, a flow between two adjacent stops, has gone from every two hours...

    Last Euston-Manchester

    Speaking of which, the 1818 Aberdeen-Doncaster is a bit strange — sets down only at Northallerton (at 2339), but calls normally at York.

    I hope the Quizmasters won't mind my saying, but under the 1983 King's Cross Protocol Addendum Addendum — located on the reverse of the original document, underneath the small print in even-smaller-print — there is a note stipulating that any game of Mornington Crescent left unresolved, for a...
