Five Brent Labour councillors defect to Greens over Starmer’s leadership and policy shifts.
Five Labour councillors in Brent, including a former cabinet member and chief whip, have defected to the Green Party, citing disillusionment with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership and Labour’s shift away from progressive values.
They criticized policies on austerity, housing, migration, and arms exports to Israel, aligning instead with the Greens’ focus on climate action, public ownership, and social justice.
The move, described as the largest such shift since Zack Polanski became Green leader, reflects growing dissatisfaction within Labour and signals a broader political realignment ahead of the May local elections.
The Green Party says membership has surged to 180,000, and the defections strengthen its challenge to Labour in London.
