Greens pitch for Corbynite votes

MEND broken Britain, the Green Party urged today as it launched an election manifesto full of Corbynite policies.
Aiming its pitch squarely at progressive voters turned off by Starmer’s Labour, the Greens pledged public ownership, higher taxes on the wealthiest and investment in public transport and housing.
The party’s co-leader Carla Denyer, who is set fair to win Bristol Central from Labour on July 4, said the manifesto “is based on investing to mend broken Britain and real hope and real change.”
