Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Green Party leader Zack Polanski "disgraceful" and said he is "not fit to lead any political party," after Polanski reshared a post alleging police had "repeatedly and violently kicked a mentally ill man in the head" during the Golders Green terror arrest. Polanski has since apologised, and senior Greens including the Welsh party leader publicly distanced themselves from the post.
