“[During his campaign to be selected as the Green Party candidate for London Mayor] Thanks to most of my fellow candidates. It's pointed because it needs to be. I think we need to look as an organisation at how we treat our members. The anti-Semitism, transphobia and pathetic smear attacks concern me. It shouldn't be allowed and, as a party, I'll be doing my bit to get a grip on it. I hope others will join me in consistently condemning it when it happens.”

“Whether we're talking about the cost of living crisis, whether we're talking about the genocide in Gaza, or generally the feeling that they were voted in on one word, change - and they've not offered a whole lot of it. The Green Party are here, and we're ready to give them that change.”

As a politician, as a leader of a political party it's really important that we do everything we can to make sure that people are both physically safe and have the perception of safety and it's unacceptable for anyone in this country to be feeling unsafe if they're just going about their daily business”

“[Asked if he wished to apologise to Nigel Farage for reposting a threatening image of him] Well, if I'd done it deliberately I'd be apologising but because this was a mistake I think the important thing is that I point out this was a mistake, that I also make sure that I condemn political violence, and also crucially I make a commitment to be better on social media.”

“The ramping up of the language to say 'this is incitement to murder me' feels like that's also putting me in a dangerous spot.”

“You know as well as I do that as soon as I do that Nigel Farage would run all over social media saying he was correct about incitement to murder and this would all ramp up again. I think it's important that I draw a line and don't play his game... It is important that he's kept safe, it is important we condemn political violence, but I also recognise this as the political attack that it is. If Nigel Farage wants to apologise for all the times that he's put other people in danger then I will be happy to make an apology.”
