After a very brief launch of a ‘political revolution’ in east London, party leader Natalie Bennett left the manifesto’s author with a few questions to answer
Blink and you missed it. Barely 20 minutes after both Natalie Bennett and Caroline Lucas had first appeared in one of the spaces in the Arcola renewable energy theatre in Dalston – everything is a space in this part of east London – they were both gone. Speeches made and questions more or less answered. More less than more, on balance.
“I’m afraid Caroline has another very important meeting somewhere else,” said Darren Johnson, Green party member of the London Assembly and MC for the morning. “And Natalie will be doing some one-to-one photo opportunities.” Though nowhere near the sign outside that read: “Bennett Construction, Be Careful with Electricity”.
