A listener asks for an update on the state of the far left "independent alliance". What have the left-wing independent MPs been doing in parliament since the election? And will they coalesce around Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana - if the two can get their act together?

Meanwhile the Green Party are due to elect a new leader. Will Zack Polanski or Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns work with others on the left?

Rachel Cunliffe and Megan Kenyon join Anoosh Chakelian on the New Statesman podcast.
