GREEN activist and London mayoral candidate Sian Berry left members ecstatic following her first speech to this year’s Green Party autumn conference yesterday.

Ms Berry is a longstanding grassroots campaigner who will more likely take part in direct actions than undersign a privatisation project.

Reaching out to both the left of her party as well as the wider London left, she alluded to the new mayors of Barcelona and Madrid, elected on broad coalitions, fighting for better housing, wages and against the power of banks and big corporations.
