Zack Polanski has been busy retweeting messages of support for his latest Green Party video. Unfortunately the fact his most vocal supporters are concerning cranks has cropped up again…
Polanski retweeted a supportive message from Harriet Bradley, a former Labour councillor and Bristol University lecturer who in 2023 was the subject of a police investigation after calling on someone to “blow up” a Jewish Labour Movement meeting.
Bradley, who was suspended from the Labour Party in 2019 for a social media post the party said was antisemitic and resigned as Bristol City councillor in 2020, tweeted: “Somebody blow up the venue!” She later apologised: “I want to offer an apology on what was a very ill-considered stupid tweet, I am ashamed of having made it. It has had awful consequences for me obviously and I’d like to apologise to anybody who was upset, offended, frightened even.” “It has had awful consequences for me obviously”…
Avon and Somerset Police said at the time it was investigating the post as “an incident of malicious communications.” All these people have hopped over to the Greens, where they are welcomed with open arms…
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.”
