How Can the Greens Beat Reform and the Causes of Reform?

Panellists: Caroline Lucas, Adrian Ramsay, Neal Lawson, Joe Todd

The Green Party’s rise since its 2025 party conference has been nothing short of seismic. A first ever Westminster by-election win, swathes of the country electing Green councillors at the 2026 Local Elections, and regular polling in double figures for the first time ever. Fundamentally, the conversation has changed.

The Greens are now in a solid position to be a leading party of the society-wide coalition that will beat not just Reform, but the causes of Reform. So what is that place in practice?

Joining Compass Director Neal Lawson to discuss this is former Leader of the Green Party and current Compass Co-Chair Caroline Lucas, former co-Leader of the Green Party and current MP for Waveney Valley Adrian Ramsay, and Co-host of Life of the Party Podcast Joe Todd.
