Ricky Knight says "It's an honour to be endorsed by Joanna"

Joanna Lumley, who shamed Ministers into changing their minds over immigration rights for Gurkha veterans has asked people to cast a vote for the Green Party in the European Elections. She said  "I urge you to cast a positive vote for a better future by voting Green in the European elections."

Ricky Knight, lead candidate for the South West and on course to become an Member of the European parliament said, “It is an honour to be endorsed by Joanna Lumley. She has been named as the female personality the public would most like to run the country. Her campaign to get just treatment for Gurkha veterans was overwhelmingly supported by the public.”

Joanna Lumley concluded,”Greens were most likely to bring about real change.”
