Hello and welcome to a very special downstream IRL here at Earth Hackney.

You may have heard of this guy Zach Polanski recently.

I don't know if this is just your training as an actor, but you look happy to be here.

I mean, it's a very, very lovely cheer. Thank you very much, everyone.

You told me something backstage. Could you imagine if I went. No, I'm actually really, really anxious and upset.

I want to be anywhere but talking to you, Ash.

You know, my husband told me the exact same thing earlier today.

You actually told me something backstage, which I really think that you ought to share with the group.

Something about a hidden talent.

I can't believe you're doing this to me. So today, Spiked, the right-wing journalist,

put a picture together of me and Mamdani and said the failed theatre kids.

As if comparing me to Mamdani is something that's going to make me upset and really cry.

So what do you mean I'm handsome and successful? Quite, right. And so what they don't know, and I suppose I'm revealing now, is I used to break dance. But now with dodgy knees and Achilles' ankles, it's not going to happen. Sorry, Ash, I know you're trying to get that scoop. We were actually sprinkling talc down at the front to assist with the spinning.

So look, right now at the time that we're speaking, the Greens are just a couple of points

behind Labour in national polling.

You might catch up with them fairly soon.

You might even overtake them.

Are you surprised?

Oh, yeah, we've got a Green Party member at least one.

Have you been surprised by the pace at which the Green Party has grown, or was this always the plan? I mean, it was the plan, but the speed at which it's happened.

There's even been some polls where we have overtaken the Labour government.

In fact, the second one came out a couple of days ago on Find Out Now.
