Greens plan to clip the wings of families who travel abroad more than once a year with 'frequent flyer' levies, scrap Trident and increase NI rates, under party's election pledges

Britons who travel abroad more than once a year would face punitive 'frequent flyer' levies under Green Party proposals.

The party – which is on course to have its best ever general election result – also wants to raise National Insurance rates for those earning more than £50,000 and scrap the Trident nuclear deterrent.

Announcing a £70billion investment to mend 'broken Britain', the Greens said they would fund their plans through a wealth tax on assets above £10million and by expanding the windfall levy on energy giants.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
