How many are fully accessible to wheelchairs and other similar needs?
How many cost less than £750,000?
How many are affordable to local first time buyers?

Disgruntled Labour lefties are exactly the kind of people the Greens should be pleased to welcome! Ask Zack!
Not only is this a very disingenuous attempt at smearing Zack’s campaign as some party takeover but it’s also incredibly disrespectful to us ex-Labour lefties who’ve since dedicated years of ourselves to GPEW.
Ex-Labour lefties are not a threat to our party but this snobby gatekeeping is.
