Greens should be open to alliance with Jeremy Corbyn party
He has been the deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales since 2022.
The London Assembly member said he was open to a pact with anyone who could challenge the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

'We have an increasingly unpopular Labour government that not only doesn't know how to handle it, but is actively making the conditions that are spurring on Nigel Farage even worse,' Polanski said in The Times.
'So I will ally myself with anyone who shares my and the Green Party's values.'
Corbyn announced the launch of a new party, which does not yet have a name, last week. The Islington North MP and former Labour MP Zarah Sultana are set to 'co-lead the founding of a new party', with a leadership election to follow once it has been set up.
Several independent MPs are expected to join Corbyn and Sultana in the new party.

"Discussions are ongoing - and I am excited to work alongside all communities to fight for the future people deserve.'
Elsewhere, a source told The National that a small group of left-leaning Scots have been working behind the scenes to prepare the Scottish arm ahead of the Holyrood election.
However, with the party not yet fully-fledged, how many, if any, candidates it will stand is still up in the air.

Collective Scotland said in a statement it was looking to build "a full-fledged electoral alliance of the Scottish left" for next year's Holyrood election.
While the statement did not mention Corbyn or Sultana directly, it said that "as the left across Britain comes together to form a new political party, the Scottish left now has a similar opportunity to unite".
We previously told how Polanski said he could understand why Scots want independence after 'decades of neglect' by Westminster.

US air strikes on Iran were absolutely necessary, says Patel
The Conservative frontbencher pressed Foreign Office minister Hamish Falconer for details about the 'UK's response to the actions of the Iranian regime' in the Commons on Monday. It followed Operation Midnight Hammer last month, an air raid when US defence forces attacked Iranian nuclear sites near Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. UK Attorney General Lord Hermer is reported to have raised legal concerns about any potential British involvement in the conflict beyond defending its allies. 'Two weeks have passed since the US air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities,' shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti said. 'Does the minister have an assessment of their impact, and what is his response to the Iranian regime now prohibiting co-operation with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and their inspectors leaving Iran? 'Given Tehran's refusal to co-operate, is the minister and the department in discussions with the partners about snapback sanctions being applied (by reinstating UN sanctions on Iran removed through the 2015 Iran nuclear deal) and other measures? 'Is he concerned that demonstrates that Iran will continue to pursue nuclear weapons and their entire programme? 'And with the information received from discussions with America, Israel and other intelligence partners, will the Government finally come off the fence about those strikes and agree with this side of the House that they were absolutely necessary?' Mr Falconer replied: 'I won't provide, I'm afraid, a detailed commentary from the despatch box on the extent of damage from the strikes, for reasons that I'm sure (Dame Priti) and the rest of the House will understand. 'I can confirm we are in discussions about the snapback mechanisms. As the Prime Minister (Sir Keir Starmer) has said, as the Foreign Secretary (David Lammy) has said, as I have said, we cannot see Iran get a nuclear weapon – snapback is an important lever. 'We're talking with our E3 partners and indeed the Americans about what role snapback can play. 'We hope to see a diplomatic solution. That is ultimately the most enduring way to ensure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon, but we will continue to consider all diplomatic tools including snapback.' Andrew Murrison referred to comments which Defence Secretary John Healey made on social media website X, when the Cabinet minister said the 'US has taken action to alleviate the grave threat that Iran poses to global security'. The Conservative MP for South West Wiltshire told the Commons: 'The Defence Secretary correctly has said that Operation Midnight Hammer has alleviated a grave threat, but the Attorney General appears to be less clear and wonders if it was illegal, whilst the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary appear to sit on the fence. 'Sorry to put the minister on the spot – does he agree with the Attorney General or with the Defence Secretary?' Mr Falconer replied: 'The Defence Secretary and the Attorney General are doing rather different roles, and I don't think they're in disagreement – and in any case, collective responsibility would bind them both and indeed me.' The Foreign Office minister, whose portfolio includes the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, also referred to a 'gap' in the law which independent reviewer of state threats legislation Jonathan Hall identified in a 2025 report. Mr Hall recommended that the Government should be able to issue 'statutory alert and liability threat notices' against foreign intelligence services. 'By way of example, this strong power would be available for use against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps', he wrote, referring to the Iran-backed organisation. It would be a 'new proscription-type power', similar to existing terrorism legislation used to ban organisations such as Hamas and National Action, the reviewer said. When Labour MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme Adam Jogee asked Mr Falconer to 'elaborate a little more on what that means', the minister replied: 'A state in this case has proved a persistent threat in the UK using methods unlike those usually employed by a state.' He said the Government was 'seeking to fill' the gap in the law.

Starmer will get it right after first getting it wrong … again
Sir Keir Starmer has just enjoyed his first prime ministerial birthday. No formal celebrations are understood to have taken place in No 10 over the weekend, though he may have been ambushed with a cake. It does happen. The consensus on his first year is that he has been uniquely skilled at making sure he suffers the maximum amount of pain for the very smallest amount of benefit. He has crossed the street to be punched in the face by blame. He and Rachel Reeves have liked to brand this relentless stampede toward loathing as being unafraid to take 'tough decisions'. Scrapping means-tested winter fuel payments, hammering the disabled; these were 'tough' decisions. And then, soon after, they were not afraid to take the even tougher decisions, of making themselves look ridiculous by not going through with them. In an interview to mark his first year, Starmer did not disagree with the verdict of a football friend who had called him 'a hard bastard'. He does himself down. To take all these tough decisions not once but twice is not merely hard but double hard. Great British Energy, renationalised rail, renters' rights and employment rights; these are all theoretically popular ideas but no one has noticed. Why? Because the government has made a spectacular show of doing and undoing again some of the most unpopular policies in decades, actions from which no one gains and only they suffer. Labour's second year began with a big bold plan to turn this frown upside down. What was Labour's most popular policy from the glory days of 1997? Sure Start centres, special community hubs for new parents that transformed life chances for children, which should never have been scrapped. And so to the dispatch box came the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, to announce the plan to bring back Sure Start, under the new name of 'Best Start'. But, it not being 1997 any more, Phillipson and co had spent the weekend doing all they could to make sure no credit could come their way. Instead, what should have been the most popular policy announcement in ages was overshadowed by Labour's worst humiliation yet — the reform of funding entitlements for children with special educational needs. This stuff is toxic. In a fractured and polarised Commons, the state of special needs education is the one area of unity. Every MP spent weeks last year knocking on doors, trying to win votes and in every part of the country they heard that there's a crisis in special educational needs. While Phillipson spoke, members on both sides bobbed with enthusiasm. It was clear they were desperate to ask about anything other than the subject at hand. On Sunday, she'd been given a number of chances to assure the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that she would not be cutting the budget for special educational needs. That assurance did not come. On Monday morning on Times Radio, Stephen Morgan, the education minister responsible for early years, provided the same amount of reassurance — zero. At the moment, more than half a million children receive thousands in what are called education, health and care plans (EHCPs), at a cost of £12 billion a year. Reforms to this system are coming in the autumn, and 'reforms' rarely mean anything other than spending less money. Not for the first time in the past year, Mark Francois was the voice of reason, which tells you more than you need to know about the past year. 'The secretary of state has pointedly refused to rule out scrapping EHCPs,' he said. 'If that is her intention, could I offer her some advice: please don't do that.' Did we hear a 'Don't worry, I won't'? No we did not. Francois got the Kuenssberg treatment. What we heard was the following: 'We are taking our time to get this right.' If these words are frightening parents, they needn't worry. We know how it goes. 'Taking our time to get it right,' means one thing. Starmer and co have alighted on a third way all of their own. They'll get it right in the end, but only by first getting it wrong. As the sign on President Reagan's desk never quite read, there is no limit to what a man can do, as long as he makes sure he never, ever gets the credit.

Long-running road and rail projects to go ahead after year-long pause
The decision will see major road and rail projects outside London and the South East go ahead, backed by £92 billion from last month's spending review. Most have been in the works for several years, and many have already received planning permission. But their future was thrown into doubt last year when Labour announced a review of transport infrastructure projects, saying the previous Conservative government had promised to deliver some without putting enough money forward. In a statement to Parliament, then-transport secretary Louise Haigh accused the Tories of leaving a £2.9 billion gap between what it had announced and what it had funded. Almost a year after launching its internal review, the Government has now decided to press on with five major road schemes, five rail projects and 28 smaller road schemes, saying they will cut journey times, ease congestion, create jobs and support new housing. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: 'Transport is the backbone of our economy, which is why we are giving them the record funding boost they need, putting taxpayers' money where it matters most and making everyday journeys easier. 'With over £92 billion investment, including the biggest ever boost for city regions in the North and Midlands, we're delivering the schemes that fast-track economic growth and jobs, connect communities, and will help us build 1.5 million new homes, as we deliver our plan for change.' Preparatory work for some of the projects has continued despite the pause, but Tuesday's announcement means they can now proceed in full. For some projects, supporters will hope the backing marks the final stage of a long-running process. One, a widening of the A66 Trans-Pennine route, was first proposed in 2016, while the reopening of the railway between Portishead and Bristol has been the subject of a 25-year campaign. The A66 upgrade was given planning permission in March 2024, but was delayed by an ultimately unsuccessful legal challenge and put on hold by the new Government's review. Construction is now expected to start this winter. Former prime minister Rishi Sunak, whose constituency is served by the A66, welcomed the announcement, saying it would improve 'journey reliability' given the existing road's 'poor safety record'. The Portishead line, reopening a railway that was closed in the 1960s, was also thrown into question by the review, but then West of England mayor Dan Norris announced funding had been secured in February this year. On Tuesday, the Government announced it would invest another £27 million in the project, which it said would 'connect an additional 50,000 people' and support 'a significant new housing development'. Other major road schemes confirmed on Tuesday include the M54-M6 link, the M60 Simister Island junction near Manchester, the A38 Derby junctions and improvements to the A46 Newark bypass. Both the Simister Island and Newark bypass projects are yet to receive planning permission. The Government has also confirmed its commitment to build new stations at Wellington and Cullompton in the South West and Haxby in Yorkshire, which had all been part of the Conservatives' Restoring Your Railway project that was scrapped when Labour came to power. Funding for the stations, along with the Midlands Rail Hub plan to add 300 trains a day to the West Midlands network, was previously announced at last month's spending review. Other, smaller, schemes include improvements to the Middlewich Eastern Bypass, in Cheshire, and the A382 between Drumbridges and Newton Abbot, in Devon. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the investments were 'long overdue' and would 'transform local communities and improve living standards across the country'. But the Conservatives accused the Government of using the announcement as a 'distraction tactic'. Shadow transport secretary Gareth Bacon said: 'Labour are re-announcing projects that are already under way in order to distract from their failing economic strategy of high tax and high borrowing. They just don't have a plan. 'Rachel Reeves's catastrophic economic mismanagement and Keir Starmer's total inability to control his own party has led to a string of unfunded U-turns, meaning that more tax rises are coming.'
