Zack Polanski seeks to stand for by-election in former PM Starmer's seat

Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, has confirmed his intention to stand in the by-election following Sir Keir Starmer's resignation as an MP. Currently a member of the London Assembly, Polanski hopes to become the first Green MP for Holborn and St Pancras. While the Green Party is targeting this traditionally Labour-held seat, divisions among local activists could complicate his candidacy.
