Russell Brand has pledged his support to the Green Party's Caroline Lucas in his firmest endorsement yet.

The self-styled revolutionary met the party's only ever MP in a coffee shop just a day after he suggested Ed Miliband understands 'the way the country feels'.

But while his exchanges with Mr Miliband included some heated debate, Brand agreed with almost everything Ms Lucas said.

He told his 1.1million subscribers: "Are you a person who lives in Brighton Pavilion?

"If you are, you should definitely vote for this person, Caroline Lucas."

He also spoke to Natalie Bennett, who still clearly had the sore throat which forced her to quit the campaign trail.

He said: "After a revolution the Greens are the sort of people you'd want running things, not a narcissistic lunatic such as myself."

Caroline Lucas laughed and said: "Yep".

She said it was politicians' fault that the world is run by what Brand called 'elites'.

"Politicians have chosen to give that power away," she said.

She highlighted the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the U.S.

"It's a really wicked agreement that's going to give even more power to corporations," she said.

"You've got politicians right now saying 'yeah, go on'."

Brand said: "These are obviously decent people.

"It's like the opposite of what I imagine it's like to meet David Cameron and what I know it's like to meet Nigel Farage."

He called for voting reform to recognise the Greens' million-plus votes better in Parliament.

The self-styled revolutionary comic prompted a flurry of gossip when Labour's leader was seen leaving his home on Monday night.

He said after the interview: "I think we learned a lot about Labour, we learned a lot about Ed Miliband.

"It's not a perfect interview, but personally I found it a very interesting experience.

"I think it says a lot about Ed Miliband that he understands the way that media works now, the way that the country feels, the way people feel and that he was willing to come round here to talk to the Trews."

Labour's leader dismissed claims by David Cameron that he was a 'joke' for doing the interview.

The PM told voters in Enfield, north London: "He says 'don't vote', that's his whole view, don't vote. That's funny, it's funny.

"Politics and life and elections and jobs and the economy is not a joke.

"Russell Brand's a joke. Ed Miliband, to hang out with Russell Brand, he's a joke. I haven't got time to hang out with Russell Brand."

But Mr Miliband attacked the Prime Minister, saying: "I think a joke is saying you want this election to be about leadership and then refusing to debate me.

"I say to all of the politicians in this campaign, here is the danger, the danger is that politics is being played in an increasingly empty stadium.

"Russell Brand asked me for an interview and I was very, very happy to accept."
