Today, we look at critical voices from within Green leader Zack Polanski’s own party, plus calls for a rule change on how the party decides policy.
Last week a motion that declared Zionism a form of racism was voted on and became policy.
Debate over the motion and it’s fallout dominated a week in which he may have preferred to have been focussing on campaigning in Holborn and St Pancras, where he came second to Labour in a by-election.
It means Andy Burnham’s first electoral victory as PM was in London. We use that fact as an excuse to look at his relationship with the capital, and the politics of it. London Centric’s Jim Waterson joins Victoria and Paddy for that.

Today, Kemi Badenoch made her closing speech to Conservative party conference.
The Conservative leader said a “battle for the soul of the nation” is coming, before pitching her vision for her party’s rebrand. She pledged a much-briefed adjustment on inheritance tax - but stopped short of abolishing it altogether. And she had a lot to say about her political opponents. Adam, Alex and Chris are in Birmingham to unpack how the speech went down inside the conference centre, and what it might mean for voters across the country.
