Labour List did a write up of the event which can be found here.

The Green Party are steadily increasing their presence, through electoral success on a local and parliamentary level, often taking seats from the Labour Party in the process.

Their populist tactics target our supporters, to our detriment in some places, but our successes in Brighton show this can be reversed.

We discussed the nature of this treat and shared experience and advice as to how to face into it.
