Does he really need to gain ground with the "left"? To be brutal there aren't really many other options for them.

Yes. Labour loses seats by margins smaller than total Green vote share.

Picking up all the Green votes seems incredibly unlikely though, they're not a directly analogous party to Labour. The Green vote increased between 2017 and 2019 so they were clearly looking for something more than left leaning policies.

Plus, doing so without losing other support would be incredibly difficult. Trident is the obvious example: would binning that to win Green votes win more votes than the policy lost?

I'm not suggesting picking up Green voters, I'm suggesting Labour will lose supporters to the Green party - as has happened (and the LibDems, but I don't see that happening at the same levels again any time soon).
