Green Party activist and former council candidate Matthew Broadley has been spotted campaigning for Zack Polanski in Holborn and St Pancras – despite previously being cautioned by police for assaulting a teenager. Above is a photo shared on Polanski’s X account last week, having been pictured with Polanski repeatedly over the last 18 months…
In 2018, while still a Labour member, Broadley is alleged to have slapped two teenagers on the backside and shared tales of his “sexual conquests” with them. He was reportedly very drunk. He received a police caution for common assault after one victim complained, and Labour suspended his membership. Broadley insisted the teens bought and consumed their own booze, and their conversations were about local politics…
Despite this, the Greens allowed Broadley to stand as a candidate for Kent county council last year. When the Telegraph reported these details in the summer, Polanski unfollowed Broadley on Instagram. Broadley posted this photo on 1st September, after that story was published…
A Green Party spokesman tells Guido:
“We looked into this previously and no action was assessed to be needed. We have hundreds out everyday [sic] in Holborn and St Pancras and Zack meets people volunteeering [sic] for him.”
Polanski previously praised Broadley on Facebook, including thanking him for “turning up so many times”…
Burnham said in his main conference speech: “For the historic victory he achieved for us, I am here to say: thank you, Keir.”
