Genuinely curious and not being confrontational, is there a grift to really be had with being the Green leader? Especially with the way he's taking it. I'd imagine if he was on a grift, even within the Greens, he'd be better off being in the middle class NIMBY faction where Ramsay is and so on. But I'm open to hearing reasons I may be wrong in thinking that
And yeah it is a red flag but it was over 10 years ago now and in an article published by the Sun, who we all know don't half sensationalise or just outright lie in their articles. Not saying it didn't happen but I wouldn't believe everything in it 100% at the least. People absolutely can change, just about everyone has done things they really aren't proud of. I'll still be looking out for more red flags though, of course. I don't trust any political leader completely, especially with how bad power almost always is for the human psyche
True, I do also think he does well in the face of things like that. You're right, it may actually turn out in his favour if he can take them in his stride, which is a very welcome change. I feel like the only other public figure on the UK left I've seen do really well with that is Mick Lynch
