Lord Frost is stepping down as Director General of the Institute of Economic Affairs. He took on the role just two months ago…
He said this morning:
“The Institute of Economic Affairs is a great organisation which has a real capacity to influence the debate about Britain’s economic future. I regret that personal commitments mean that I cannot lead it into that future, but I am delighted I will continue to be closely involved with its very important work in a different way as it moves forward.”
Green Deputy Leader Rachel Millward said:
“The reality is that it’s Zack Polanski who brought the nation, Andy Burnham. And if we hadn’t had the success of the Green Party in this last year since Zack’s been leading, which has been unprecedented, phenomenal success and a growth from about 60,000 members to 230,000, if we hadn’t had that much pressure on Labour, then we’d probably still be in the Starmer regime, which was pretty much ushering in a Reform government with its lurch to the right. So actually, what we’re seeing now is that we’ve set the political agenda and the government is picking that up.”
