This is the Green party’s moment – not Farage’s. As leader, I’ll offer real solutions to Britain’s problems | Zack Polanski

This is the most dangerous political moment in my lifetime. Not only is our economy in dire trouble, with the cost of basic goods shooting up again and again, but trust in those running the country is at a record low. These are the conditions in which far-right politics festers. With the help of his friends in some of the media, Nigel Farage is feeding off that anger.

This is the Green party’s moment. We know Keir Starmer shuffling the deckchairs this week is not the real change we need. We are not here just to be concerned or disappointed with this Labour government. We are here to replace it.
