POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Recent accounts suggest the Green Party is rapidly approaching Labour’s membership figures. A spokesperson for the Greens reported that membership had ‘quadrupled’ over the past year since Polanski assumed leadership.

In a separate development, the Reform government has announced plans to introduce national licensing for vape shops. Zia Yusuf, a key figure in the Reform party, stated, “We will also end financial disincentive.” He projects a 70% decrease in vape shops on British high streets as a result of this policy.

the Reform government intends to establish a central prosecution fund for local authorities to target businesses employing illegal workers. Yusuf emphasized, “Corporate CEOs have been making a fortune by hiring illegal workers and undermining British youngsters. Reform will jail them — and stop illegal working for good – we will stand up for British workers.”
