Reform are refusing to talk to our reporters at the election counts. Champions of free speech? 🤣🤣

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
