Overview
- Zack Polanski urged supporters not to ease off after an ITV Cymru Wales poll suggested the party could win up to seven Senedd regional seats, a small dip from an earlier survey.
- He apologized for sharing a post about police actions in Golders Green that accused officers of kicking a subdued suspect, drawing rebukes from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Met Commissioner Mark Rowley.
- Welsh leader Anthony Slaughter said the matter is cleared up after the apology and an offer to meet the Met chief, and he argued it will not hurt the party’s chances.
- Local candidates voiced support for Polanski at campaign events, stressing unity as the party pushes to convert polling gains into actual votes.
- The Senedd’s regional list system uses proportional voting, which means even modest swings can translate into Green seats and a new voice to scrutinize the next government.
