Multiple Labour MPs considering defecting to Greens, Zack Polanski claims
Zach Polanski says he’d ‘absolutely’ welcome Labour MPs to Green Party
- Green Party leader Zack Polanski claims he has held conversations with multiple Labour MPs who are considering defecting to his party.
- Mr Polanski said he would "absolutely" welcome disillusioned Labour MPs, provided they align with Green Party values, citing Clive Lewis and Nadia Whittome as potential examples.
- He said that while he would not consider a full merger with Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new political movement, he would welcome them joining the Green Party.
- Mr Polanski criticised Sir Keir Starmer's leadership as an "abject failure" and positioned the Green Party as a viable alternative for voters disillusioned with both Labour and Reform UK.
- A Labour Party spokesperson dismissed Polanski's proposals as lacking a concrete plan and criticised his party's stance on national security and green infrastructure.
