4hago 14.05 BST 'We'll say it loud, say it clear, migrants and refugees welcome here, says Polanski Polanski turns to Labour. 44 The prime minister might call this an Island of strangers. When Farage says jump, Labour might say ‘how high’. But the Greens won’t dance to the tune of a Trump-loving, tax-avoiding, science-denying, NHS-dismantling corporate stooge. He is referring to Nigel Farage, of course. This gets the longest and loudest applause of the speech so far. Polanski tells members to stay on their feet, because they will want to applaud his next line. 44 We will say it loud, and we will say it clear, migrants and refugees are “welcome here”.

hago 14.02 8ST Polanski is now referring to the Manchester synagogue attack. 44 I'm one of five Jewish people to lead a British political party in the last 100 years. And that also means that I do want to spend a moment to mark yesterday’s awful attack. As a Jewish man raised in north Manchester - I feel this deeply and my heart is with the community. More widely I am the product of migration. It’s why defending migrants matters so much to me. It’s a common Jewish experience - a tale as old as time. Now my Jewish ancestry is confusing and muddled because we’ve always been on the run but from what I can gather together, they started in a Jewish town in Lativa - fled from Pogroms - to Ukraine - more pogroms - Poland - Nazis - to England where they faced their challenges from antisemitism. They changed their name to sound more English - and I changed it back, knowing that real pride comes from no longer hiding who you are. He is now talking about the co-deputy leaders of the party (elected on the same day he was elected). 44 Mothin [Ali], son of a steelworker, whose parents came from what is now Bangladesh in the 60s. Rachel [Millward] who, apart from a Danish great grandad and a Welsh Grandma, has family roots tied to England as far back as she knows. One brought up Jewish. One raised Muslim. One a child of the Church. A leadership with three different backstories, in a country enriched by people from all over the world.

3hago 14.08 BST Polanski says Greens want to stop small boats by having safe and legal routes for asylum seekers Polanski says the Green party would stop the boats by setting up safe and legal routes for asylum seekers. Referring to a conversation in Clacton, he says: 44 We talked a little. We found common ground on some things - and other things there’s still clearly work to do. I told him how the Green Party wanted to stop the small boats too. But we want to stop them through safe and legal routes.
