hago 14.02 8ST Polanski is now referring to the Manchester synagogue attack. 44 I'm one of five Jewish people to lead a British political party in the last 100 years. And that also means that I do want to spend a moment to mark yesterday’s awful attack. As a Jewish man raised in north Manchester - I feel this deeply and my heart is with the community. More widely I am the product of migration. It’s why defending migrants matters so much to me. It’s a common Jewish experience - a tale as old as time. Now my Jewish ancestry is confusing and muddled because we’ve always been on the run but from what I can gather together, they started in a Jewish town in Lativa - fled from Pogroms - to Ukraine - more pogroms - Poland - Nazis - to England where they faced their challenges from antisemitism. They changed their name to sound more English - and I changed it back, knowing that real pride comes from no longer hiding who you are. He is now talking about the co-deputy leaders of the party (elected on the same day he was elected). 44 Mothin [Ali], son of a steelworker, whose parents came from what is now Bangladesh in the 60s. Rachel [Millward] who, apart from a Danish great grandad and a Welsh Grandma, has family roots tied to England as far back as she knows. One brought up Jewish. One raised Muslim. One a child of the Church. A leadership with three different backstories, in a country enriched by people from all over the world.

4hago 13.55 BST Polanski says 'economic model based on austerity and privatisation’ to blame for Britain's problems Polanski says on his first full day as leader he went to Clacton - not a phrase you hear often from the constituency’s MP (Nigel Farage), he jokes. He says people there felt neglected. They need bold policies. 44 We're here to turn our country around. At every opportunity, from the doorstep to the TV Studio, our message is that the Green Party will bring down your bills, cut the cost of living and protect our NHS. Polanski says the country’s problems pre-date Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. M1 These issues are rooted in an economic model built on austerity and privatisation. But this party is clear. We will break the shackles of poverty and hardship that lock so many in. We will end rip off Britain. And we will make sure that the very wealthiest pay more tax.

44 But they obviously face competition in that space on the left - voters are much more likely to say “Your party’ or the Liberal Democrats are a bigger threat to Labour on the left than the Green Party 44 But the Green Party have one clear advantage over Your Party - while voters split on whether they see them as a serious party (38-39) that is far higher than for Your Party 16-50 and Your Party’s splits have created a bigger opening for the Greens. AA The big test for the greens is whether they can take their considerers (who make up a bigger ratio of their overall vote than any other party) and make them into voters. Polanski’s command of the attention economy feels like an important step in doing that.

44 The idea of a wealth tax is popular across the board, though it is worth stressing this is highly hypothetical and as with Digital ID, when the debate became real with winners/losers and cost/benefit estimates this could shift significantly. 44 Risks of Polanski’s approach? His embrace of a much more open immigration policy isn’t backed by most voters - even green voters are more likely to say reduce than increase (though by a smaller margin). That said there clearly is a more pro-migration minority he could speak to. 44 There’s also a question whether the eco-populism pitch deters those who were voting green for the eco bit. On balance I think the Green's future lies in challenging Labour to the left, but it might make it harder to hold e.g. the two rural seats they won in 2024.

46mago 16.29 8ST Luke Tryl, a polling expert and More in Common UK director, has posted a thread on Bluesky with some thoughts on Zack Polanski’s speech. His comments are here, but you will need to read the thread to see all the charts he has included. 44 Thoughts on Polanski speech: his pledge to “end rip off Britain” is closest to chiming with public mood on the cost of living of leaders speeches yet. The sense essentials, let alone treats are unaffordable & govt is unable/unwilling to tackle it epitomises broken Britain mood 44 It’s also a message that resonates squarely with Polanski’s own voters, Green voters along with Reform UK voters are the most likely to think we need to let our institutions ‘burn’ and also the least likely to think that higher GDP growth benefits people like them 44 Clearly his pitch is the ‘anti-system left’ designed to win support to Labour’s left - and it’s pretty striking that when you look at the current VI of Green Party voters, a plurality are those who voted for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour in 2019. 44 Green supporters are younger than voters as a whole, and more female. They are particularly likely to be animated by climate (unsurprisingly) and housing compared to the wider public.
