Green Party leader Zack Polanski called for a three-year cap on rent price increases during a speech at the party's conference, according to The Guardian.
The event marks what the Green Party is describing as its largest-ever conference, taking place on the back of a year of membership growth that the party has highlighted as evidence of its electoral progress.
Polanski is also standing as a candidate in the upcoming Holborn and St Pancras byelection, seeking to take the seat previously held by Keir Starmer from Labour. He described the race as "probably 50/50 right now" and "really on a knife edge."
The Green leader said his authority within the party does not depend on the outcome of that byelection, pushing back on suggestions that the party's popularity may have already peaked.
In his conference remarks, Polanski pointed to recent election results, including the party's performance in councils, boroughs and mayoral races, as well as what he called a breakthrough in Gorton and Denton, as signs of the party's growing electoral strength.
