Chowdhury, the Newham mayoral candidate, described accusations that the Greens have engaged in “sectarian” politics in campaigning on Gaza as “completely racist”.

“The Green Party is at the same time an Islamist party and a super LGBT party? Right. The reality is that we’re a coalition of progressive voices [that] wants to build a better society.”

Meanwhile, Faaiz Hasan, a national elections coordinator for the Green Party, framed the political debate in terms of class.

He told MEE last month that “this is the moment that we can actually start putting forward an alternative vision for the country that is not based on blaming migrants, is not based on blaming people of colour or others, but identifies that the real issue is not race, it’s class, and the concentration of wealth and power in a very tiny group of people”.
