Responding to the head-to-head debate between Sunak and Starmer, Green Party Co-Leader Adrian Ramsay said:
“This election debate needed to be better.
“It would have been better if the other leaders of other political parties were stood alongside challenging the cosy consensus of Starmer’s Labour and Sunak’s Conservatives.
“Our NHS is creaking, the cost-of-living crisis is hurting us all – and the need to protect our environment has never been greater.
“But all we got from the stage tonight were promises that amounted to little more than fiddling while Rome burns.
“This election should be about our chance, as a country, to express real hope and real change to a different kind of future.
“People clearly want a change from the Conservatives, yet Labour’s timid approach just won’t deliver the change our country needs.
“That’s why we need more Green MPs in the next Parliament – to push the new government to be bolder and take the action needed, to restore our NHS, to build more affordable housing – and to create a healthy environment for us all.”
