Badenoch claims Labour is preparing for a general election in May 2027 - UK politics live

That’s all from me, Tom Ambrose, and the UK live politics blog for today. Thanks for following along.

Here is a round-up of the day’s headlines:

Zack Polanski claimed Green party electoral victories push Labour towards a more progressive governing agenda, as he called for controls to hold down the costs of rent across the country. In his speech to the Green conference in Brighton, Polanski claimed his party made a difference to Labour’s political outlook.

Polanski used his address to set out a new Green policy to control rises in private sector rents, modelled on the pensions triple lock. He called for a “a three-year emergency brake on private rents”, adding: “No rent rises above CPI, wage growth or 2% – whichever is lower. No sudden hikes. No evictions under the guise of rent rises. No more uncertainty, no more fear.”
