  • The Green Party is in crisis

    The Green Party is in crisis
    Oct 12 2026

    It’s been a tumultuous time for the Green Party. Their controversial “Zionism is racism vote” and leader Zack Polanski’s defeat in a by-election in North London has led to turmoil within the party.


    Meanwhile, is the long-suffering Tory party finally experiencing a “Kemi-bounce”?


    And how about the Lib Dems? Is leader Ed Davey facing a coup?


    Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Megan Kenyon and Ethan Croft.

  • Labour holds Starmer’s seat

    Labour holds Starmer’s seat
    Oct 9 2026

    Labour has held the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, with Sagal Abdi-Wali retaining the seat for the party despite a hard-fought contest from Green Party leader Zack Polanski.


    The result preserves Labour’s long-standing grip on the constituency, and disrupts Polanski’s momentum.


    Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Megan Kenyon and Ben Walker to discuss.
