Green Party co-leader denies split over trans rights

This cast doubt over the stance of the defiantly pro-trans party and raised questions over whether the two leaders were at odds.

But as she joined activists on the campaign trail in Kent on Friday, Ms Denyer claimed she and her fellow Green MP were still unified but couldn't say whether they had spoken about the contentious issue.

She told Sky News: " policy is clear that trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary identities exist and are valid.

" I support that policy and I know that Adrian and I are united in standing up for trans rights and for women's rights.

" I don't see those in conflict, I understand some people will express themselves slightly differently, and I absolutely understand why a man, a cis-man, might feel slightly uncomfortable defining womanhood from the outside. "

Трудът беше " смазващо отчаяние ", споделят Зелените при пускане на акцията на локалните избори. Стана ясно, че те се усещат уверени.

Although the Greens only have five seats on Kent County Council, they are contesting almost all of the 81 up for grabs and believe they can make gains from the Conservatives, who currently have an overwhelming majority.

It's a pattern they hope to see across the country, building on previous momentum and capitalising as people lose faith in establishment politics.
