Last day of the campaign and feeling very proud of The Green Party who could not have worked harder to bring real hope and real change into this election. 1st time in hustings, which for someone who doesn’t love public speaking but does it anyway, was terrifying but fascinating...

... and occasionally even enjoyable!

It certainly helped having a manifesto that plans for proper investment in public services, real climate action to address the climate & inequality crises together, and demonstrated compassionate and realistic policies are possible! greenparty.org.uk/about/our-mani… It’s one that...

...brings respect and dignity to the people who make use of our public services and for those who work in them.

Being a candidate, I wanted to express how much respect I have for those who make our democracy work. Both the people at the local council or those volunteers who make the effort to put hustings on in their local community, & take the time to moderate such a range of topics...

Thank you Hilda McCafferty for the White City hustings where we talked about the cost of living, food banks, support for the disabled and carers, housing, immigration and public services. ...

It was hard to sit through the dog-whistle racism that followed the immigration question but I was so touched by the lady who made a point of coming to tell me how immigrants working in the NHS saved her life, and her gratitude that people like my parents came here...

Bridget Osborne at ChiswickW4.com hosted a lively hustings at George IV pub. “The Green Party’s candidate got some of the loudest applause of the evening when pitching the party’s manifesto pledges, namely wealth taxes and funding the NHS.” ... chiswickcalendar.co.uk/hammersmith-ch…

It was good to be able to talk about how young people need better support across the board whether for education, housing, skills development and climate action chiswickcalendar.co.uk/conservative-c… ...

Thanks to Cllr Sam Hearn for the hustings in Grove Park, where Paul Lewis hosted a debate that covered Brexit, Gaza, taxation and public services, and immigration. ...

Again, I had to make the point that immigration is not why we are struggling so much in this country. Underinvestment in our public services including housing is. You’re more likely to be treated by an immigrant working in the NHS, than have one in the queue ahead of us. ...

I loved attending the Tamil Guardian hustings where the brilliant Cllr Benali Hamdache talked about our more humanitarian approach to foreign policy and the importance of self-determination. ... x.com/TamilGuardian/….

It’s been lovely to receive so many positive messages from the Tamil community, excited to see one of their own standing in this election for such positive ideas. Many were hearing Green ideas for the first time and as I said in this article, there’s a lot more we need to do...

... as Greens to reach out, listen and communicate how Green Party policies connect with the concerns of Tamils, and how Tamils can get involved. x.com/Naranee2018/st…

It wasn’t all hustings though – I also was grateful to Chris at Yarrow The Gate, a creative arts studio for people with learning disabilities, for inviting me to hear from the people who attend there. We talked about disability benefits, support to work for those who want to ...

...and support for all to live their lives in dignity by providing proper care. I sadly heard about issues of abuse on our transport system & will be following up on that with City Hall Greens A bonus was receiving a Gate Custard album with joyful music & frank lyrics! ...

For those thinking about getting involved, the best starting point is to join us, listen and get active. I definitely didn’t see myself as a politician but honestly, if I can do it, you can. For real hope and real change, join.greenparty.org.uk
