The Green Party of England and Wales has launched its General Election manifesto in Hove, East Sussex, pledging a series of transformative measures aimed at addressing economic and environmental challenges. Key proposals include a £70 billion annual tax hike on the wealthiest individuals, targeting those earning over £50,000 and imposing a 1% wealth tax on assets over £10 million, increasing to 2% on assets above £1 billion. The funds raised will be used to tackle climate change, improve housing, transport, and the NHS, with an additional £50 billion a year allocated to health and social care spending. The manifesto also includes ambitious plans such as a four-day working week, a ban on domestic flights, and votes for 16-year-olds. Green Party co-leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay emphasized the need for 'real hope and real change' and criticized other parties for their pessimism.
