Green party deputy leader Zack Polanski: "We are losing the argument on net zero, I think that's blatant." He also tells @lewis_goodall that Nigel Farage could be PM: "I think that's undoubtably a threat and I think it's the course we are heading for." @LBC

Tory chairman Nigel Huddleston tells @lewis_goodall his party is "constantly learning". He says the idea that everything was going to change and be ok after just 6 months of Kemi Badenoch being leader is "for the birds" but does not believe this is existential. @LBC
