Summer 2025 has been brimming with activity aimed at building a radical left, independent of a right-wing Labour Party. Zack Polanski’s ‘eco-populist’ campaign for Green Party leadership – with results due on 2 September – has driven a surge in Party membership. The trio clearly have the potential to push thousands into action – so far only paying the Green Party £5 a month or registering an email address on a website. We have started to focus on these needs in the Lewisham Green party. The decisive shift to an Ali and Polanski Green Party leadership would align, not conflict with the embryonic Corbyn-Sultana party.
