With his Co Leader but he will be delivering a speech on his own because she has covid symptoms. The Green Party looking to position themselves as a challenge the Labour Government from the left so i think we can expect them to say that labour should be bolder and braver in their words more ambitious. And criticise what they say is labour s doom and gloom. We had from Keir Starmer a few weeks ago saying things will get worse before they get better.

And when parties have to report it. This is one of the many problems that we have in our system. It appears to be born out of historical reasons rather than anything else. We do have, for what is supposed to be a very transparent system, quite a complicated one in which there are various different registers updated at various different points. The electoral commissions register is only updated every quarter and i think this story has sort of renewed questions about whether thats really appropriate in this day and age when websites can be updated at the drop of a hat. That was the conservative Party Response so far when it came to frank hester s donations, that they have reported everything that needed to be reported in the public sphere. You have looked into this closely, could you tell us how big a donor frank hester is, how important he is to the tory partys treasure chest, essentially .
