No mention is ever made of an already existing political party which ex-members of the Labour party could join instead of creating a new party (Umunna: a false friend to Labour, Letters, 4 March). That is the Green party. As a very senior citizen who, after many years as a member of the Labour party left in despair and recognised that the policies of the Green party ticked most of the boxes – ie, the Green party is anti-Brexit, anti-nuclear, anti-racist and most importantly is campaigning to alert governments and people of the fragile nature of the planet due to the damage we have inflicted on it. My message to disaffected Labour members is: join the Greens and support Caroline Lucas, who has been consistent during all her years as a Green party MP.
