Jeremy Corbyn has been elected Labour leader with a stonking great majority. He arrives with a vast mandate from a bigger membership than any UK party has had in the modern age.

I'm a member of the Green Party. And for Greens, this presents a challenge. On the one hand, many members are delighted to see someone they have marched alongside over the years as leader of the opposition.

A huge proportion of those who joined the party during the Green Surge did so because they saw the Greens as “the only party left on the left”. Clearly, that's no longer true.
