Carla Denyer has just announced that she will not stand for re-election as co-leader.

Carla Denyer has announced she will not stand again as Greens co-leader, breaking up the party’s most electorally successful leadership duo, which delivered four MPs at last year’s general election.

Denyer was among the MPs elected, winning the Bristol Central seat from Labour, and in a statement to the Guardian she said she wanted to put all her efforts into her parliamentary role.

Denyer has served since 2021 as co-leader alongside Adrian Ramsay, who was also elected as an MP last July. He must now decide whether to stand as a solo candidate or join together with someone else. The party’s deputy leader, Zack Polanski, announced on Monday that he would stand.

Zack's video pitch is here:

To be fair, I think that the current leadership is probably the boldest and most confident that it has ever been. Having said that, I've seen more from Denyer than I have from Ramsay.

I had a lot of time for Caroline Lucas when she was the leader, but perhaps she was a bit too nice. Maybe it's time for the Greens to be a bit more aggressive; let's face it, where else do leftish voters go if they're not happy with Labour? Reform is currently picking up votes from those who are perhaps more socially conservative, but I think there will come a time when the penny drops and voters realise that Reform doesn't care about working- and lower middle-class voters.

Problem is a vote for Greens is a vote for Reform.
Splits the Labour vote and could allow Reform to win the seat. Basically shooting yourself in the foot

Unless you live in Bristol or Brighton

that really isn't necessarily true anywhere, and provable false in many locations

Indeed, there are around 40 Labour seats across the country with the Greens in 2nd place. I compiled a list a few months ago.
