Zack Polanski's honeymoon is over
About this episode
The episode discusses Zack Polanski's first year as leader of the Green party amidst political challenges and internal party issues.
It’s nearly a year since Zack Polanski took the reins of the Green party. In many ways the party has never been so successful – with five MPs, leading six local authorities and a leader who cuts through with the public. But now the Greens have to contend with a new – and relatively popular – Prime Minister, and internal factions within the party threaten to make life difficult for Polanski as he heads towards the summer conference. How is the Green leader faring one year on? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea and Megan Kenyon Produced by Chris Stone LISTEN AD-FREE: 📱 Download the New Statesman app MORE FROM THE NEW STATESMAN: ❓ Ask a question – we answer them every Friday ⏰ Get our daily politics newsletter every morning ✍️ Enjoy the best of our writing via email every Saturday Hosted on Acast.
