  • Today, the green surge in London.

  • It's time your hard-earned money works harder for you.

  • With the Wealthfront Cash account, your uninvested cash can earn up to 3.95% APY.

  • Plus free instant withdrawals to eligible accounts.

  • Start today at Wealthfront. com. 3.3% base APY via Program Banks as of January 30, 2026.

  • Boosted up to $150,000.

  • Cash account offered by Wealthfront Brokerage LLC member FINRA SIPC, not a bank.

  • It's a chilly morning in early April, and inside a former spice warehouse in southeast London, excitement is building.

  • We're in the friendly place for the launch of the Green Party's local election campaign.

  • It is a very Green Party kind of venue.

  • Not just the cutesy name, but the artful no-frills vibes.

  • Bare brick walls, peeling plaster, exposed beams.

  • Good morning, thank you very much.

  • It's amazing to be here in depth.

  • Zach Polanski bounds onto the stage with a big toothy grin.

  • It's been a remarkable moment for the Green Party.
