Could Labour adopt Green policies in response to their growing popularity?

There was a phase when Reform's popularity was rising and Labour started adopting some of their promises, like toughening immigration laws etc.
Can they do the same but looking up to Greens now? Haven't they started already, removing 2-child benefits cap?
But, in contrast to Reform, I can't imagine what is actually driving increasein Green's popularity other than pro-muslim vibe/antagonism to Reform, and what's there for Labour to copy. Any suggestions?

Nationalisation of energy and water utilities is popular but Labour have not implemented them. Wealth taxes on billionaires would be popular but that’s not happening either.

All Labour politicians, especially the ones on the front benches, are interested in is what makes them rich, and the billionaires will not continue to fund politicians who will not protect their existence.

No chance of significant change here now except in the other side of collapse.

I don't think enough people care enough about nationalisation, so it's an extra work that will unlikely bring more votes.

theyre the traditional protest vote, that’s all. People are horrified at the increase in reform but disillusioned with labour (and the conservatives just screwed themselves over with infighting and splits). People think “oh yes greens - I care about the planet” and don’t look more widely.
The most sensible centrist party is actually the Lib Dems but they don’t seem to understand they are alienating people (particularly women) with their trans stance.

I was thinking Libdems are for that. But I have no idea what they actually stand for, like pro-immigration?

I read that Labour wants to junk their voting at 16 plan, because that would benefit the Greens rather than Labour.

The Greens are all about Gaza and men with fetishes and terrible economics.

The masses wanted Brexit - look how that went
Most people want capital punishment returned too

Labour need to pursue some policies that generate growth and wealth and to stop appealing to the masses

Maybe next Labour PM will be Muslim or from a city with vast Muslim population, like London or Birmingham?
