At the Green Party we have always prided ourselves on our striking design work but it was a surprise to see our brand guidelines being so closely followed by a Ukip candidate rather than a Green.

In this case, it appears the only difference between our leaflets and Ukip’s is that the Green Party ones contain sensible policies.

It would be great if Ukip’s candidate adopted our stance as well as our design, and stopped blaming the failure of Government policy on migrants.

If Ukip wants to borrow some policies that would truly make a difference to people’s lives, we suggest providing decent social care, building affordable homes and taking action on climate change.
