The Green Party have kicked off their local elections campaign today – and the environmentalist party delivered a furious attack on Reform UK in their speech.
Many people are looking for “something different”, co-leader Carla Denyer said, before handing over to her colleague Adrian Ramsay.
He said: “So which way should people turn? On the one hand, we have the far-right: Reform. A party that uses the politics of fear to divide our communities, and whose policies are explicitly designed to only benefit a small number of the very richest.
“Reform is a party that wants to privatise our NHS. They want to halt action that would create a healthy, liveable environment. They’d let rich oligarchs buy up our democracy, while sowing division in our society, instead of making the case for the investment that our public services need.
“Most importantly for these local elections, Reform has no track record of delivering at any level of government. Reform’s trying to make gains on the back of a weak and lacklustre political old guard.
“Yes, they shout the loudest – I think we can all agree on that. But when it comes to getting anything done, offering any real solutions, Reform’s rhetoric evaporates.
“And they will soon crash back to reality and disappear into the aether like Ukip and the BNP before them.”
