Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Green Party, said:
“The Green Party is proud to announce that in this election we will have candidates standing in 574 seats in England and Wales.
“All over the country voters will have the opportunity to vote Green and vote for real hope and real change instead of the half measures and broken pledges on offer from The Conservative and Labour.
“We will be putting our manifesto to voters next week with practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis, building new affordable homes, protecting our NHS from creeping privatisation and cleaning up our toxic rivers and seas.
“If elected, Green MPs will push the next government for bold action to achieve the real changes that are needed to confront the big challenges our country faces.
“This is a historic moment and the first time we’ve had this many candidates. It reflects the incredible journey we’ve been on over the past five local elections in which we’ve increased our number of councillors nearly five-fold.”
