SARAH Lunnon says ‘we are ready’ following the launch on Monday of the Green Party’s 2017 election manifesto.

At their Green Guarantee launch in central London the co-leaders of the party pledged that Green MPs would fight to transform politics.

Green candidate for Stroud Sarah Lunnon said: “Greens are standing for a confident and caring Britain that reaches for a bigger future that we can be proud of.

“It’s about the future we choose for our children.

“It’s about protecting our values of openness, compassion and co-operation.

“The Green Guarantee is our promise that a confident and caring future is possible if we work together, do politics differently and dare to be different.

“It says, we are ready – and we hope you’ll join us by voting Green on June 8th.”

At the launch they promised Green MPs would protect the environment, reverse the privatisation of the NHS, give people a referendum on the terms of any Brexit deal and bring forward plans for a basic income and a shorter working week.

Also the party pledged to immediately guarantee the rights of EU citizens, protect freedom of movement and have a referendum on any EU deal.

The Green Guarantee also promises to 'take steps towards the introduction of a universal basic income, including a government sponsored pilot scheme', and 'phase in' a shorter working week.

At the launch Caroline Lucas, the party's co-leader, said: "The Green Party has big, bold ideas to create a confident and caring country we can all be proud of.

 “Green MPs elected on June 8th can be trusted to protect our public services, fight for a close relationship with the EU and truly hold whoever is in Government to account.

"If we do end up with a Tory Government you can be sure that Green MPs will hold Theresa May's feet to the fire."
