Former Co-leader of The Green Party. Councillor for Clapham Town in Lambeth.






🟢 EXCL: Senior Green Party figures have urged Zack Polanski to consider stepping aside for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election if the Greater Manchester mayor commits to introducing proportional representation Green councillors, activists and former party leaders have signed a joint statement warning that the party should approach the contest with “trepidation” The letter, whose signatories include Jonathan Bartley, who led the party between 2016 and 2018, and Rupert Read, a former Green councillor and author, says that Burnham’s election presents a “unique opportunity” to secure reform “In all reality this is not a seat Greens can win. It will be a straight fight between Labour and Reform. But it’s no ordinary by-election. Labour’s candidate, Andy Burnham, is looking to return to Westminster to lead in parliament.” “If Burnham will commit to backing proportional representation for the next general Labour election manifesto so that it is in place by the election after next, then on this unique occasion we don’t think Greens should run a full campaign against him,” the letter says Full read in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/article/16d6ba…

A great reception again on Clapham Town ward's doorsteps for @ForresterJJ, @PromJPhillips & me Our @Conservatives colleagues came a close second to Labour in '22 Reminding residents re recent @Moreincommon_ L'dn headline voting intention poll showing Con +3% & Lab -27% on '22.

Dual leadership really was such a stupid, self-indulgent gimmick for the Greens









Losing control of this council would be the end of Labour as we know it trib.al/BLs99Bw
