Cllr Gareth KitchenResponding to Reform’s local elections campaign event, Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay MP said: <br><br>“We know people are struggling after 14 years of Conservative austerity, now followed by the crushing disappointment of a new Labour government making more cuts to front line services. But Reform will never be the answer to the decline of the two old parties. <br><br>“Reform is a party designed to benefit the very richest and has no track record of delivering for people. Green councillors up and down the country are delivering real hope and real change in their communities every day. <br><br>“We are offering a hard-working and democratic alternative to the dead end, divisive choice of Reform and their impossible promises.”<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/greenparty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenParty</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/reform" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reform</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://stroud.social/tag/ukpol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UkPol</a>

Wen<p>Unfortunate headline maybe, but the article captures the despair and disillusionment that many poorer people not only feel but experience today. Politicians should feel shame (they won't). Parochially (in Scotland) at least despite their shortcomings the SNP and the Greens seem to actually care. Difficult to tell talking to our not so distance English neighbours.
