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.
