‘We have the hope, they have the fear’
Andrew Murray catches up with Green peer and former party leader NATALIE BENNETT in the Greens’ target seat in Bristol, where they discuss the party’s aim of winning four MPs, Farage, Labour’s lack of policy – and the all-important issue of Gaza

ACROSS much of the country, voting for a left-of-Labour, pro-Gaza candidate in the general election can only mean voting Green.

The party is standing in almost every constituency across Britain, four times as many as the next largest effort, by the Workers Party, and around three times as many as all other socialist parties and independent left candidates aggregated.

And it is taking advantage of the evident gap in the market opened up by Labour’s march to the Establishment centre by offering a programme closely based on the popular Jeremy Corbyn offer of 2017.
