The UK Green Party claims it is now the third largest in the country, after reporting a jump in its membership numbers.

The Greens have 126,000 members, up nearly 80% since new leader Zack Polanski was elected last month, according to a statement Sunday. The party claimed that those figures rank it just behind Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, and ahead of the Conservative Party. It overtook the Liberal Democrats earlier this month.
