Local elections 2022: Green Party's Amelia Womack on seat gains

The Green Party in England and Wales has been "beating expectations" year after year, deputy leader Amelia Womack has said.

She said the initial local election results were showing the party could win, adding there was "no such thing" as safe seats any more.

The party has not yet matched its previous best ever local election performance in 2019.
