Greens suspend campaigning / Leader's statement on Manchester attack

23 May 2017

The Green Party has suspended campaigning today after last night's terrorist attack in Manchester. 

All national campaigning events, including the billboard launch and Welsh Green Party manifesto launch are cancelled. 

In a statement following the attacks, Green Party co-leaders Jonathan Bartley and Caroline Lucas said: 

"Our thoughts are with those affected by this appalling incident in Manchester. For young people to be targeted in this way is utterly atrocious. 

"As ever our emergency services have done us proud - and we pay tribute to the police, firefighters and paramadics who stepped up in this time of need. 

"The people of Manchester responded last night with love, solidarity and openness –  and in the coming days and weeks we'll follow their example and show we won't let terrorism tear us apart."
