As Stefan Stern says, real leadership is collective. Joint leaders bring the skills, experience and perspective no one person can. We agree - and we’ve proved it works. Vote Ellie & Adrian ✅

From the Green party to Corbyn’s new launch – is it time Westminster took joint leaders more seriously?

Strong leaders in business are often those able to allow others in their top team to share responsibility.

They said we’d never win a second seat. We proved them wrong — and then won four. 🌱
I’m proud of every Green councillor and campaigner who made that possible.
Now let’s go further. Let’s win far more — together.

Thanks Zoe - you’re right, this is a moment to act urgently and wisely. Ellie and I have never been about incremental growth. We’re proud of the exponential gains in Lewes District and beyond.

Graphic featuring an endorsement quote from Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, with the quote: “This is a moment of real political opportunity — and we have to act urgently and wisely. Ellie and Adrian are the leaders we need in Westminster: experienced, strategic, and deeply rooted in our values. They know how to win — and how to use their roles in Parliament to deliver lasting change for our party and the country.”
