GROWTH IN PARTY UNITY

by Jerome Betts


Available from RedMolotov


Liz Truss has attempted to unite her party around a common enemy of the “anti-growth coalition” of unions, remainers and green campaigners… —The Guardian, 5 October 2022


Inspired by some words from Liz T.
And her mantra of ‘Growth’, triple G,
    Green, Lib Dem and Labour
    Can now nod to a neighbour
 Enrolled in the new AGC!
