MOTHIN ALI

FOR DEPUTY

FOR YOU

WHY I AM STANDING FOR DEPUTY LEADER

We need someone ready to take on the challenge posed by Reform, and to offer a real home to those Labour has left behind.

I’m standing to help change that — to make the Green Party one that truly reflects ordinary working-class people.

    It's my great pleasure to call Mothin a friend. He's the real deal. He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk - like assisting Unite with unionisation efforts at Amazon. Authentic, kind, generous. Just some of the words that describe Mothin. It's time for a strong progressive voice from the north.

    Leeds

  • Jane Strutt - Member

    This Jew just joined the Green party, mainly due to Mothin! I feel that the combination of Mr Polanski and Mothin Ali on the same ticket will strike at the heart of divisions within our society. Socialism is the only Green way forward.

Interview Highlights

Labour exodus surprise
“I’m surprised more Labour MPs haven’t left” – Mothin argues that widespread frustration with party leadership (especially around foreign policy and anti-Islamophobia) is prompting unrest among MPs and voters alike .

Reform’s rise explained
He observes that “people aren’t voting Reform because they love Reform – they’re voting Reform because they’re fed up of the two‑party system”.

Strategic path forward
Mothin outlines his approach to counter Reform’s surge: uniting progressive voices across communities through issues-based campaigning, with a strong emphasis on climate action, anti-racism, and fairness.

Outlined hands joined in unity, symbolising collective action and grassroots solidarity.

COMMUNITY-ROOTED ACTION

I’m a hands-on, grassroots organiser deeply embedded in my community.

My work — from food banks to gardening — empowers people at a local level.

 I believe decisions should be made with people, not for them. 

#ThePeoplesDeputy

Four people seated around a heart, symbolising community, care, and teamwork rooted in compassion.

A FAIRER BRITAIN

I’ve seen the damage of 15 years of austerity — in my community and across the country.

Starmer backs the super-rich, not us. It’s time to rebuild services, bring utilities into public hands, and tackle the climate crisis.

#MothinForDeputy

Two hands cradling a group of four people, symbolising protection, support, and collective care.

HOPE AND UNITY

After wrecking the economy with a Brexit campaign of lies and xenophobia, Farage and Reform are back, fuelling despair and blaming the vulnerable. I reject their politics of division — and will work for a fairer, kinder Britain that leaves no one behind.
