Yes.

I mean, you know, there are certain things that you you need to do as a councillor.

And, you know, for example, not breaking the code for conduct is one of them.

Turn up is another one.

Yeah.

Maybe don't, you know, be offensive, racist, misogynistic might be another one.

But to go back to the green thing, what's interesting in terms of vetting is we've had these problems with reform because of the surge of the number of candidates.

And there's a similar thing going on with the Greens, which, again, we've talked about in Broughton Boroughs, where I think there's been about 50 defections, I think all from Labour to the Greens across the country.

Zach Polanski has said, almost like, don't blame me because we've got all these people coming, so we can't possibly keep tabs on all of them.

That's massively paraphrasing, by the way, in case anyone...

picks me up on that.

But, you know, recently... Probably him.

I believe that when the many stories that we've run in the eye were not really about their green credentials.

at all but i mean these are people who are desperate for power i don't want to use the word hypnotic uh magnetism or polanski but there's something there isn't there we had a story recently in rotten boroughs where there was a former tower hamlet's labor counselor uh also a loyalist uh for look for roman the the current aspire um friend of the eye favorite of the eye um and he was booted out because he was supporting the independence

He's recently resurfaced while campaigning on behalf of the independents down in South Hamlets.

He scooted up to Barking and Dagenham to support one of the new Green councillors who used to be Labour, who defected to the Greens.

Are you with me?

You following?

Yes.

Defected to the Greens because apparently of the Labour stance on Gaza.
