i hello, graham, and good evening, everybody. i think this is a great question, because we need to achieve big changes in our society. we have an nhs which is severely overstretched, a social care system where people cannot get access to the personal care they need, our schools are crumbling and we have a climate crisis and a nature crisis where we have got sewage in our rivers and climate going unchecked. so, the green party is putting forward an ambitious manifesto for this election, where we can offer real hope and real change on the biggest issues of our time, and that is about offering a vision for a different type of society. so, in terms of what would people be sacrificing, i think it is about what people would be gaining. because at the moment people cannot get access to an nhs dentist. where i am in east anglia there is not a single nhs dentist in norfolk and waverly taking new patients. people cannot get access to a gp when they need one, the hospitals are full of patients in corridors and we have a climate and nature crisis that we are not getting to grips with. what we are arguing is that we should put in the investment and we should ask the very richest in society, multimillionaires and billionaires, to put in modestly more so that we can have a society where people can get the services they need, when they need one. and we can have a clean environment. people say to me all the time, they are thinking about what the future is going to be like for their children and for their grandchildren. and i think we all know that we need to step up action on the climate crisis, both to adapt to the changes that are already happening, but to avoid the runaway climate change that will affect us all dreadfully if we do not get to grips with this. filiaiiii affect us all dreadfully if we do not get to grips with this. shall we talk about some _ not get to grips with this. shall we talk about some of _ not get to grips with this. shall we talk about some of the _ talk about some of the specifics, graham's question is about what we would have to sacrifice, let's talk about cars, for example, obviously you would like us all to drive electric cars and you are suggesting that everyone has to scrap their petrol and diesel cars by 2035. that is tens of millions of cars, that is potentially the cars of lots of people sitting here, how are you going to recompense people for doing that?

we we will have to scrap our petrol and diesel cars by 2035?— we will have to scrap our petrol and diesel cars by 2035? we would want to have no petrol— diesel cars by 2035? we would want to have no petrol and _ diesel cars by 2035? we would want to have no petrol and diesel- diesel cars by 2035? we would want to have no petrol and diesel cars- diesel cars by 2035? we would want to have no petrol and diesel cars on| to have no petrol and diesel cars on the road by then. but to have no petrol and diesel cars on the road by then.— to have no petrol and diesel cars on the road by then. but given that you are saying. — the road by then. but given that you are saying. even _ the road by then. but given that you are saying, even that _ the road by then. but given that you are saying, even that it _ the road by then. but given that you are saying, even that it is _ the road by then. but given that you are saying, even that it is fully - are saying, even that it is fully costed, in the back and watch out, let's say you have got a petrol or diesel car, what is your name...? how much would you pay him for his petrol and diesel car? i am how much would you pay him for his petrol and diesel car?— petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have that — petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have that specific _ petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have that specific figure. - petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have that specific figure. so - petrol and diesel car? i am not sure i have that specific figure. so how i i have that specific figure. so how do ou i have that specific figure. so how do you know _ i have that specific figure. so how do you know it — i have that specific figure. so how do you know it is _ i have that specific figure. so how do you know it is fully _ i have that specific figure. so how do you know it is fully costed? . do you know it is fully costed? because i can tell you about the figures for our manifesto as a whole, and what those figures are seeking to achieve in terms of the transition to net zero. 0ne seeking to achieve in terms of the transition to net zero. one of the big parts of that is, we have got to invest in our public transport system, because we have some of the most expensive trains and public transport in the uk, if you can get onto public transport at all, there are so many villages where i am in east anglia where people no longer have a bus at all, so you have got to put the investment into improving the public transport before you start bringing in the measures around helping people move away from their cars or other measures that would eventually help with that transition. ,, ., ., ~ ., transition. shall we talk about the ublic transition. shall we talk about the public transport? _ transition. shall we talk about the public transport? so, _ transition. shall we talk about the public transport? so, you - transition. shall we talk about the public transport? so, you want. transition. shall we talk about the public transport? so, you want to | public transport? so, you want to introduce a frequent flyer van, a levy, and ban domestic flights which would take less than three hours by train. so, say for example you are coming from manchester to london by train, it is actually more expensive on certain flights, to come by train that it on certain flights, to come by train thatitis on certain flights, to come by train that it is to fly, so again, coming back to the question in terms of what it might cost, what would you do about that? i what it might cost, what would you do about that?— do about that? i think that is a really good — do about that? i think that is a really good question, - do about that? i think that is a really good question, fiona, . do about that? i think that is a - really good question, fiona, because absolutely it should not be the case that it absolutely it should not be the case thatitis absolutely it should not be the case that it is more expensive to get the train, often substantially more expensive, to get the train within the uk, than it is to get a flight, and a flight is several times more environmentally damaging. and i think most people want to do the greener option, but the greener option has got to be the cheaper and more convenient option as well. how would ou more convenient option as well. how would you make _ more convenient option as well. how would you make it _ more convenient option as well. how would you make it cheaper? huge i would you make it cheaper? huge subsidies at _ would you make it cheaper? huge subsidies at the _ would you make it cheaper? huge subsidies at the moment - would you make it cheaper? him subsidies at the moment go into the aviation industry whilst we have some of the most expensive rail prices in europe. and so one of the things we would do is to the railways back into public ownership, which i think people would really like to see, to ensure that they are run for public benefit, not for the huge profits of the whale companies. what would you like to say? are you convinced by what you are hearing? i don't understand, i thought the green party were against hs2, and schemes like that? which is improving high speed rail. so why were they against it? so, we want to see far more investment in public transport, and in particular in improving regional and local connections here in the midlands, in the north, in all parts of the country. we did have concerns about the huge cost and also the local environment to limp along the london to birmingham route of the particular proposal for hs2, but that route is happening now, and what the government has said is that it is going to scrap the perhaps more helpful leg of hs2, which was going to be in the midlands on the north, and said that it is going to put that money into regional and local transport networks for the midlands and the north and the whole of the country. i am in a region in east anglia which is underinvested, i think probably you in the midlands and in the north also feel your public transport has not been invested in, and my question to the government would be, it said it was going to invest that hs2 second leg money in local transport, where is that happening? have you seen the improvements to public transport where you are? i know i haven't. we need to get that investment into local and regional rail services and bus services so that people do have that option for public transport wherever it is practical. the woman in the- - - ?

absolutely. thank you for your i absolutely. thank you for your question, i think that is an absolutely crucial question, i have sometimes been asked a question from interviewers in this election about, do i have a car? i do own a car which use when i need to, it is a hybrid car, i would have had an electric car but the house was a terraced house where there were no charging points and i am sure lots of people will face barriers like that, orfinancial barriers, you might want to get an electric car but it is too expensive or you are worried about the info structure. so that has got to have the investment both from government but also the reason why i think we do need to have a clear timeline for moving all of our vehicles to electric and away from fossil fuels is that it gives the private sector a clear timescale to work too, for putting that investment in, and when the government changed goalposts, the conservative government, itself had in place, for moving away from fossil fuels vehicles, they pulled the rug away from the electric vehicle sector, as they did from the renewable energy sector, when they were all geared up for putting that investment in. so if we are going to get the business opportunities and work closely with business to make these changes, we have to give them these changes, we have to give them the confidence that they have on the timescales that are there, and it is really strange to me that a conservative government would be so antibusiness as to pull the rug away, and also to be talking down the uk so much, when we could be playing a lead in this green transition to a greener future, people say to me all the time, what can the uk do on climate change, given what china is emitting? what we can do is what we have done in the past. we can be patriotic, we can say, we are going to lead the world into the green industrial revolution of the future, with all the jobs that that will bring, the bills coming down, and it will create a better society as well. let's take another question derek chapman. let's take another question derek chaman. , , let's take another question derek chaman. , ., , chapman. good evening. it is lovely to have your — chapman. good evening. it is lovely to have your green _ chapman. good evening. it is lovely to have your green vision, _ chapman. good evening. it is lovely to have your green vision, but i chapman. good evening. it is lovely to have your green vision, but what| to have your green vision, but what i to have your green vision, but what iwouid _ to have your green vision, but what iwouid like — to have your green vision, but what iwouid like to _ to have your green vision, but what i would like to know _ to have your green vision, but what i would like to know is, _ to have your green vision, but what i would like to know is, how- to have your green vision, but what i would like to know is, how are i to have your green vision, but what| i would like to know is, how are you going _ i would like to know is, how are you going to _ i would like to know is, how are you going to get — i would like to know is, how are you going to get countries _ i would like to know is, how are you going to get countries like - going to get countries like china and india — going to get countries like china and india to _ going to get countries like china and india to go— going to get countries like china and india to go green?
