5 h. ago The politics of despair have engulfed Britain. But Zack Polanski is offering a way out | Owen Jones

The leader of the Greens wants to focus on battles that unite – such as taxing wealth – without yielding an inch on minority rightsHas the grisly race to the bottom in British politics finally been halted by a Green surge? Since Zack Polanski secured the Green party leadership with an emphatic 85% vote share on an unashamedly leftwing platform, the political consensus has faced its biggest challenge since the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour.When Polanksi launched his bid in May, the Greens counted 60,000 members.

Spanning four continents and drawing on sources in a dozen languages, Jason Burke’s survey of this set combines a flair for period detail – sideburns and aviator shades, berets and Beretta pistols – with impressive digests of Arab and Iranian history.
