Corbyn said he will be in talks with the Green Party and a range of independent groups across the capital about how to approach the mayoral contest. He told the LDRS, "We'll be in discussion with the Greens, with the various independent groups around London, and earlier this year in the council elections, we worked very closely with independent groups supporting their candidates," as reported by MyLondon. The party hopes these discussions will shape a joint progressive platform for the 2028 race.

Residents who wish to support the party can join a local branch or attend upcoming strategy meetings that Corbyn says will involve the Greens and independent groups. The party’s progress will be monitored by the Local Democracy Reporting Service and reported in future local news updates.
