The Guardian reports the Green party's membership has quadrupled over the past year under leader Polanski, and recent accounts suggest the party may now be approaching Labour's membership figures. In other developments, the Reform government announced plans to introduce national licensing for vape shops, with Zia Yusuf claiming this will reduce vape businesses by seventy percent on British high streets. Reform also plans to establish a central prosecution fund for local authorities to pursue businesses employing illegal workers, framing the effort as standing up for British workers against corporate exploitation.
