‘Hypocrite!’: New Polanski scandal erupts during local elections

The Daily T

About

As the country goes to the polls in crucial local and devolved elections, The Daily T asks: Is Zack Polanski a foolish ideologue, a dangerous charlatan, or both?


Polanski recently shared a social media post criticising the police’s conduct when arresting a man suspected of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green. As his personal poll rating tanks, Camilla and Tim explain why Polanski’s position on anti-Semitism and the growing Islamist support for his party make him a danger to Britain.


Later, Sir John Curtice, Britain’s favourite pollster, tells The Daily T that Labour is facing its worst-ever result in London and the election of more pro-Gaza independents is “almost inevitable”.
