Description

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. Correction: Jamie Driscoll was not suspended from the Labour Party. He wasn’t allowed to stand as a candidate and so he left the party.
