Adrien Ramsey this is looking like a

play00:01

change election most people have decided

play00:04

that if they want to be part of the

play00:05

change they should vote labor why are

play00:06

they wrong well people do definitely

play00:09

want a change in this election that

play00:11

comes up on the doorstep all the time

play00:13

people feel desperately let down by this

play00:15

government but they're not feeling

play00:16

inspired by labor either and yes we're

play00:19

on track for there to be a labor

play00:21

government but rather than K starma

play00:23

having such a huge majority where he can

play00:26

continue to take u-turns all the time as

play00:28

he's been doing on climate and on

play00:30

funding for public services if we have

play00:32

more of a d diversity of voices in

play00:34

Parliament including a group of green

play00:36

MPS we can push the new government to be

play00:39

bolder on the big issues that matter so

play00:41

you want to be a leftwing pressure group

play00:43

in Parliament basically to the left of

play00:44

Labor well I I'm talking about the poll

play00:47

showing that we're on track to have a

play00:49

labor government and we need to push

play00:52

that government out of its timid pledges

play00:55

that it's making at the moment for the

play00:57

real hope and real change that we

play00:59

actually need if we're going to restore

play01:01

our NHS build more affordable housing

play01:04

tackle the scandal of sewage in our

play01:06

Rivers we need bold action on these

play01:08

issues and by having a group of green

play01:10

MPS in Parliament we'll really change

play01:12

the political debate and push the new

play01:14

government to take the changes that our

play01:16

country so desperately needs I mean

play01:17

Peter mandon has said that you've become

play01:19

the dust bin for disgruntled leftists

play01:22

that's true isn't it well if you look at

play01:24

where the Green Party Support is right

play01:26

around the country we've just come out

play01:27

of a set of Elections where over the

play01:29

last last five years in a row greens

play01:32

have gained a record number of seats

play01:33

we've increased our number of elected

play01:35

greens right across the country fivefold

play01:38

and the seats that we're winning are

play01:39

from labor and from the conservatives in

play01:42

roughly equal numbers in urban areas and

play01:44

rural areas but your positions on most

play01:46

things are to the left aren't you you're

play01:47

a high tax High spend you know you want

play01:50

radical action on the environment you've

play01:52

got all sorts of you know weird and

play01:54

wonderful policies about how you're

play01:56

going to nationalize public transport

play01:57

and have one pound bus fairs and also

play01:59

sorts of things that will never happen

play02:01

and the cost a fortune and they're all

play02:03

to the left of Labor and they attract

play02:05

the left don't they they attract people

play02:07

from a wide range of areas and if you

play02:09

look at the places where we've got a

play02:10

strong chance of winning seats at this

play02:12

election places like Bristol Central and

play02:14

Brighton Pavilion in cities places like

play02:16

North herfordshire and wavery Valley in

play02:18

rural areas those policies appeal to

play02:21

people across the Spectrum it you don't

play02:24

have to be on the left to care about the

play02:26

environment I was speaking to a

play02:27

gentleman yesterday in Haworth in the

play02:31

constituency where I'm standing he's a

play02:33

grandfather and he said to me that he

play02:34

usually votes conservative but that he's

play02:37

thinking about what the future's going

play02:38

to be like for his children and

play02:40

grandchildren fundamentally failed on on

play02:42

the green agenda in that Net Zero has

play02:45

kind of fallen off you know the

play02:47

conservatives have gone back labor is

play02:49

talking about clean energy rather than

play02:51

Net Zero I mean you know the central aim

play02:54

of the green party has been set back in

play02:56

the last two years not forward well what

play02:59

you've set out chrishan is how both uh

play03:02

the main parties have let people down on

play03:04

the action that's needed on the

play03:06

environment and yes this is about

play03:07

tackling the climate crisis and it's

play03:10

about creating a better Society because

play03:12

if we invest in the better public

play03:14

transport that we need if we support our

play03:16

Farmers to produce more food locally if

play03:19

we insulate our homes so we bring bills

play03:22

down and keep homes warm if we invest in

play03:24

renewable energy to tackle the energy

play03:26

crisis all these things will create a

play03:28

better Society for people and people

play03:30

right across the country are desperate

play03:32

for that sort of change they're fed up

play03:34

with the scandal of sewage in our rivers

play03:35

with the lack of affordable housing with

play03:37

our NHS at breaking point and the green

play03:39

part is the only party going into this

play03:41

election being honest with people that

play03:43

if we're going to make the changes

play03:46

that's that are needed we are going to

play03:48

have to ask the very richest in society

play03:50

the multi-millionaires the billionaires

play03:52

to pay just modestly more in tax I'm

play03:54

talking about it's not just the very

play03:56

rich is it because you want to remove

play03:58

the cap on National insurance for

play04:00

example that affects anybody earning

play04:02

more than £45,000

play04:03

that's true we do think we think we

play04:06

think the percentage that people pay on

play04:09

National Insurance should be the same

play04:11

regardless of their earnings rather you

play04:13

want taxes to go on everyone for 45,000

play04:16

at the moment the people who are on the

play04:18

lower to Middle incomes are actually

play04:20

paying a higher percentage of their

play04:22

income on National Insurance that

play04:23

doesn't seem right

play04:25

lete let let let me be clear Christian

play04:28

that the place where we are looking for

play04:31

the ba vast bulk of funding that we are

play04:33

seeking to raise so that we can restore

play04:35

our NHS we can tackle the dentist Dental

play04:38

desert we can tackle the patients in

play04:39

corridors in our hospitals the vast

play04:42

majority of that funding is going to

play04:44

come from asking the multi-millionaires

play04:46

the the billionaires people with over 10

play04:48

million in assets to pay 1% on any any

play04:52

wealth over 10 million so also want to

play04:54

raise capital gains tax to the same rate

play04:57

as income tax that will hit every small

play05:00

business in the country everyone who

play05:03

builds a business and dreams of selling

play05:05

it one day to create their nest EG will

play05:08

be hit massively by that as an idea

play05:10

that's not multi-millionaires that's

play05:11

ordinary hardworking small business

play05:14

owners well actually the green party has

play05:16

a lot of policies in our Manifesto for

play05:18

how we would support small businesses

play05:20

because small businesses are

play05:21

the economy I mean you know what we're

play05:24

talking about is that there's a lot of

play05:26

people in um Society who earn income

play05:29

from

play05:30

assets and the percentage of that that

play05:33

income is taxed at is significantly

play05:35

lower than people who earn their income

play05:37

from being employed and yes we would

play05:40

like to equalize that as part of a range

play05:42

of measures that will raise the money

play05:44

that's needed to restore our NHS to

play05:47

bring about a transition to a green

play05:49

future but we also have a whole Suite of

play05:52

policies which will be reflected in our

play05:53

Mass Manifesto coming out about how we

play05:55

can support and Safeguard particularly

play05:57

small and independent businesses which

play05:59

are the Bedrock of so many of our

play06:01

communities and particularly in the

play06:02

market towns in norol and suffk that I'm

play06:04

out in every day those small businesses

play06:06

are a crucial part of those local towns

play06:08

and the green party more than any party

play06:10

wants to really support and see how we

play06:13

can really help small businesses to play

play06:15

a huge role in those areas isn't the

play06:17

truth that you've been caught on the Hop

play06:18

like many people by this early election

play06:20

in terms of both policy and candidates I

play06:22

mean you you've you've had to take down

play06:24

a load of pages from your website of

play06:26

sort of some of the the the more

play06:28

eccentric policies um that you had in

play06:30

the past um and you haven't got the new

play06:32

ones up yet um and you haven't sorted

play06:35

out all your candidates I mean you know

play06:38

you're still facing that sort of problem

play06:40

of being a bit crazy in places Christian

play06:44

we are better prepared going into this

play06:46

election than we have ever been before

play06:48

last time I checked we had far more

play06:50

candidates selected than the

play06:51

conservative party did we've got a clear

play06:54

strategy going into

play06:57

this the distinction you're making there

play06:59

Christian is around policies that we had

play07:02

in place for a long-term vision for

play07:04

society compared to as all parties do

play07:07

we'll be producing our Manifesto for

play07:09

what we were putting forward for this

play07:10

next five years of this next Parliament

play07:12

that Manifesto is coming out on the 12th

play07:14

of June it's been in preparation for a

play07:16

long time so the fully costed elements

play07:18

of it that you were starting to refer to

play07:20

we've been planning for some time so we

play07:21

can show how we would get the funding

play07:23

that's needed to restore our NHS to

play07:26

transition to a green economy to make

play07:28

sure we have affordable housing to

play07:30

tackle the crisis of affordable housing

play07:32

in this country so we've got clear

play07:34

costed policies that we'll show in our

play07:36

Manifesto we've got candidates selected

play07:38

for all corners of the country more than

play07:40

ever before you withraw and if I could

play07:42

add to that Christian we've got a clear

play07:44

strategy for this election because we

play07:46

know that under the voting system we've

play07:47

got greens need to finish first in

play07:49

certain constituencies to win seats and

play07:51

we've got big concentrations of support

play07:53

in places like wavery Valley Bristol

play07:56

Central North Heritage here Brighton

play07:58

Pavilion where people in those areas

play08:00

know that greens are the main Challenger

play08:02

and our activists are actively

play08:03

supporting our laser focus campaign in

play08:05

those areas to get greens elected

play08:07

because we're not about shaving a few

play08:09

votes off another party we're about

play08:11

having elected greens representing their

play08:13

communities and pushing this government

play08:15

the new government we're expecting to be

play08:17

bold for the real hope and real change

play08:19

that our country needs but isn't this

play08:21

the real problem that you have that you

play08:23

still got crackpots standing for you and

play08:26

people who just say things that are

play08:28

unacceptable you've had people had to

play08:30

withdraw because of alleged

play08:32

anti-Semitism uh within within the party

play08:35

over the Israel Gaza um war and you know

play08:40

the green party suffers massively from

play08:42

our current elector system um but what

play08:46

that means is you know you just don't

play08:47

work in a British political context do

play08:50

you in the in the way that European

play08:51

green parties do well the green par has

play08:53

really come of age in recent years we

play08:55

have increased our number of counselors

play08:57

right across England and Wales byold in

play09:00

The Last 5 Years the number of councils

play09:02

where greens are part of the

play09:03

administration is 40 we have 10 councils

play09:06

where greens are the largest party so we

play09:09

are playing a huge role in democracy in

play09:11

this country already and in terms of our

play09:13

candidates we are planning to stand

play09:15

candidates right across England and

play09:17

Wales there are there are 570 seats

play09:21

wherever any questions have been raised

play09:23

about things candidates have said in the

play09:24

past those are being investigated

play09:26

through the right channels internally

play09:28

there have been three candidates out of

play09:30

the 570 seats where the person who was

play09:33

selected is no longer in place there's a

play09:35

small number more still being looked at

play09:37

and you could look at any political

play09:39

party and there are examples that you'll

play09:40

know of and you'll have covered where

play09:42

people have been selected and later

play09:45

resigned or withdrawn those numbers are

play09:47

not higher in the green party than they

play09:48

are anywhere else and actually the fact

play09:50

that you're looking at us with the same

play09:52

scrutiny as the other parties the fact

play09:54

that you can look at local councils

play09:55

where greens are having a real impact on

play09:57

people's everyday lives locally the fact

play09:59

that we're talking about having a record

play10:01

number of green MPS pushing this next

play10:03

government to be bold in an election

play10:04

that's turning out to be frankly quite

play10:06

boring and where greens are putting

play10:08

forward the policies that are really

play10:10

needed for real hope and real change for

play10:12

the future that's what shows that the

play10:14

green party is running our most

play10:16

ambitious campaign ever and that we've

play10:17

really come of age as a party do you

play10:19

still want to rejoin the EU so our

play10:22

Manifesto will set out our policy in

play10:24

relation to the European Union what it

play10:25

will say is that we want to have much

play10:28

stronger working relation relationships

play10:30

with the European Union in a number of

play10:32

ways and there was there were some

play10:33

shortterm

play10:35

Meen no the other it will say in there

play10:38

that our position over time is to with

play10:41

rejoin the EU when the conditions are

play10:44

right political and economic conditions

play10:46

so not talking about doing that

play10:48

immediately but what we do want to do is

play10:50

to be very clear as a party that we're

play10:52

in internationalist party that the big

play10:54

issues of our time whether that's

play10:56

climate whether that's issues of digital

play10:59

technology whether it's around global

play11:01

inequality trade uh skills shortages all

play11:04

of these issues need to be tackled

play11:06

through Global cooperation and so greens

play11:09

want to be close to our European

play11:11

partners and there's a number of steps

play11:13

that could be taken even while we're

play11:14

outside the EU to improve those steps

play11:17

and sadly we've seen too many people

play11:19

looking for headlines and pushing our

play11:20

country in a more of an isolationist

play11:22

Direction I mean to have a future you

play11:24

need to attract young voters is the

play11:26

truth but what's your offer to young

play11:28

people I mean you know you're you're not

play11:30

really offering them much on housing um

play11:33

you know why vote green if you're 20

play11:35

years old well I was 16 when I first

play11:38

joined the green party over 25 years ago

play11:41

and I joined because I knew that the

play11:43

green party was the party that really

play11:45

understood that the climate crisis is

play11:47

the defining issue of our time that

play11:50

global inequality is something that

play11:52

needs urgent action to be addressed and

play11:54

as one of the richest countries in the

play11:56

world we can play a leading role in that

play11:58

and those issues us have only got

play11:59

greater in that time and in terms of

play12:02

Housing and the specific issues that

play12:03

affect people dayto day that we've made

play12:06

housing one of our Central planks in

play12:08

this Manifesto we need far more

play12:10

affordable housing in this country

play12:12

there's over a million people on the

play12:13

council house waiting list so we're very

play12:15

clear we would be far tougher with

play12:18

developers to require that there's more

play12:20

affordable housing for people to buy in

play12:23

any new development being tougher on

play12:24

developers means less less homes get

play12:26

built well it's about it's about the

play12:28

right homes being built because well

play12:30

it's about more homes being built the

play12:32

people I speak to in East Anglia and

play12:34

around the country all the time are

play12:36

seeing homes being built that are out of

play12:38

the reach of local people people are

play12:39

being priced out of being able to live

play12:41

in their own local community so and that

play12:43

applies to people seeking to buy it

play12:45

applies to people seeking to rent we

play12:47

need more Council homes we would give

play12:49

councils the power to borrow more and

play12:52

give them more funding to build more

play12:54

Council housing 150,000 new Council

play12:57

homes a year we've pledged which could

play12:59

be a combination of new builds and

play13:01

refurbishing or bringing back into use

play13:03

empty homes or homes that are being sold

play13:06

by landlords exiting the market that's

play13:07

not enough either is it but that that

play13:09

will make a huge difference but what we

play13:11

also need to do is give support to

play13:12

people who are renting in the private

play13:14

rented sector where there are some

play13:17

examples of private landlords hiking up

play13:19

rents well above the rate of inflation

play13:21

certainly well above the rates that

play13:22

people's wages are going up and we would

play13:25

give local councils the power to

play13:27

introduce controls on rents based on the

play13:29

local circumstances and what's needed to

play13:31

keep rents affordable locally and that's

play13:33

a very practical policy that will

play13:35

support particularly young people K

play13:37

starma says he's relaxed about people

play13:39

being rich and getting richer are

play13:42

you well greens have a vision for a

play13:46

future where we are investing in the

play13:48

transition to an environmentally

play13:51

friendly way of living renewable energy

play13:53

that can keep people's bills down

play13:55

insulating people's homes in a way that

play13:57

means the homes are warmer that they

play13:59

bills are not going up all the time

play14:00

improve public transport supporting our

play14:02

Farmers to produce more of our food

play14:04

locally and so the transition to a green

play14:07

economy will present huge job

play14:09

opportunities for people around the

play14:11

country huge opportunities for business

play14:13

including the small businesses that we

play14:15

were talking about so greens want an

play14:17

economy that's really thriving but do

play14:19

you want people to Aspire to be rich as

play14:22

as labor does now what I want is a

play14:24

society where everybody's basic needs

play14:27

are met so that people are not

play14:29

having to choose between Heating and

play14:31

eating people can pay their bills people

play14:33

have got good quality air to breathe

play14:36

people can access an NHS dentist and

play14:38

Doctor when they need to and if you just

play14:41

approach economic policy in a way where

play14:43

you're simply measuring the amount of

play14:46

activity in the economy without looking

play14:48

at do we have a healthy environment are

play14:50

our Rivers full of sewage are people

play14:53

able to access the NHS dentist and

play14:55

Doctor when they need one are people

play14:57

able to feed their children children

play14:59

there CH child poverty has increased

play15:01

enormously around this country if you

play15:04

just take a blunt approach to economics

play15:06

of just looking at growth for growth's

play15:07

sake you fail to recognize that we have

play15:10

a hugely unequal country and that we

play15:12

only have one planet and what people say

play15:15

to me all the time is that they want to

play15:17

see parties taking the Urgent action on

play15:20

the environment they know that labor and

play15:22

the conservatives have let them down and

play15:24

that's why we need greens as part of the

play15:26

political debate in this election but in

play15:29

Parliament after the election as well to

play15:31

push the new government to be bolder on

play15:33

these crucial issues of our time I mean

play15:35

isn't the truth that since 2010 you've

play15:38

had one MP you've been constantly

play15:40

talking about

play15:41

breakthrough and the truth is this

play15:43

election could be the the one where the

play15:45

greens go from one MP To None what's

play15:48

happened since 2010 and particularly in

play15:50

the last five years is that the strength

play15:52

of green party the green party across

play15:54

the country has grown enormously we've

play15:56

increased our number of elected greens

play15:58

councils

play15:59

when it comes to Westminster Caroline

play16:01

Lucas is stepping down and that kind of

play16:02

tells you everything she's had enough

play16:04

Caroline Lucas is very clear that she

play16:06

wants to see a group of green MPS in

play16:08

this next Parliament she's out on the

play16:10

campaign Trail supporting our campaign

play16:12

in places like Bristol Central wavy

play16:15

Valley North Herer chair and Brighton

play16:18

Pavilion places where we've got a big

play16:19

concentration of green support where

play16:21

greens are the main Challenger and where

play16:24

it's very clear that if people want

play16:26

there to be a green voice in Parliament

play16:27

we can achieve that and we can push the

play16:29

new government to be bolder because

play16:31

whilst people desperately want to change

play16:33

at this election they see that Labor's

play16:35

pledges are timid and that we need real

play16:38

hope and real change to tackle the

play16:40

challenges this country faces and that

play16:42

having greens as part of that political

play16:44

debate will push the new Parliament the

play16:46

new government in the right direction

play16:48

give me one example where you would push

play16:50

labor to be more hopeful to offer more

play16:53

we need to put the investment that's

play16:55

needed into the NHS so we are arguing

play16:59

that we should ask the very richest in

play17:01

society to pay modestly more in tax so

play17:04

that we can afford to invest in our NHS

play17:07

we're the only party being honest in

play17:08

this election that we need to do that

play17:10

our tax proposals are modest by European

play17:12

standards asking people with 10 million

play17:15

of wealth to pay 1% over that 10 million

play17:18

but if we put in place measures like

play17:19

that we will raise the funds that are

play17:21

needed the tens of billions by the end

play17:23

of this next Parliament that will enable

play17:25

us to restore our NHS address the fact

play17:27

that we've got patience in corridors

play17:29

that the staff are severely

play17:30

overstretched that people can't get

play17:32

access to an NHS dentist when they need

play17:35

one that our social care system is at

play17:37

Breaking Point these are the changes

play17:39

that we need so whether it's on public

play17:41

services whether it's on affordable

play17:42

housing whether it's on the climate

play17:45

emergency is the defining issue of our

play17:47

time having greens elected in the next

play17:50

Parliament a group of green MPS to push

play17:52

the new government to be bolder it

play17:54

couldn't be more urgent that we press

play17:57

the government to take the action that's

play17:58

needed just finally I mean is it a

play18:01

luxury that you enjoy that you're not

play18:04

going to be the government so you don't

play18:06

actually have to make your sums add up

play18:08

you can throw ideas out there that might

play18:11

well cost a fortune you don't really

play18:12

need to worry about it because you can

play18:14

throw them out there as nice ideas

play18:16

things that would be nice to have you

play18:19

don't have to be responsible do you

play18:21

that's the truth look Christian my

play18:22

background is as a charity chief

play18:24

executive of National Environmental

play18:26

Charities I'm used to running organiz

play18:29

where you course you have to make the

play18:30

budgets work you have to run the

play18:32

organization effectively to have an

play18:34

impact and we are producing a fully

play18:36

costed Manifesto which will show exactly

play18:38

how we would fund the proposals that

play18:40

we're putting forward and we are doing

play18:43

that just as rigorously as any other

play18:45

party because we need to show the vision

play18:47

for what this next Parliament could do

play18:50

if we're going to tackle the defining

play18:51

issues of our time growing inequality

play18:54

too many children in far too many

play18:56

children in poverty it's a scandal that

play18:58

that's the case people not being able to

play19:00

access an NHS dentist patients in

play19:02

corridors in our hospitals our Rivers

play19:05

full of sewage the climate emergency

play19:08

being rather than taken as an

play19:10

opportunity to create a fairer future

play19:13

labor quick to overturn its Promises of

play19:16

the money it was going to put in on all

play19:18

these issues we desperately need more

play19:20

greens as part of that political debate

play19:22

in Parliament and we can get that at

play19:24

this election by people voting with

play19:26

their heart and voting for the real hope

play19:28

and real change that this country needs

play19:30

Adrian Ramsey thank you very much
