UK: Green Party leader Zack Polanski has announced that he intends to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, seeking to replace former prime minister Sir Keir Starmer as the constituency’s MP. Polanski, who is currently a member of the London Assembly and does not have a seat in Parliament, said the contest would be a “referendum on ending rip-off Britain”. The by-election was triggered after Starmer announced this week that he was stepping down as an MP, having represented the north London constituency since 2015. Polanski must still be formally selected as the Green candidate by local party members. Join EJN:
