The Greens are out of touch and have let down Sheffield - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: Paige Turner, Sheffield.

The Greens failing to criticise a single Reform candidate in Sheffield is proof that the party doesn't care about the people successive Labour and Conservative governments have abandoned in the city.

This heartless middle class dominated party led nationally by a Coalition and austerity supporting former Liberal Democrat abandoned northern cities like Sheffield long ago.

Not even putting a single item on their manifesto or publicity for candidates related to improving job outcomes and training for young people, opposing examples of Tory Localism like the volunteer libraries so enthusiastically supported by the Greens shows that even they admit it.

There are few successful Tory candidates in Sheffield because with people like the Greens around they are not needed. The Greens can no longer use the tired old scare tactic of saying that if people vote Labour they will let the Reform or the Tories in. The best option in Sheffield is to vote Labour or Lib Dem.
