Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Greens Launch Local Election Campaign With Housing Focus
Caption: Greens Launch Local Election Campaign With Housing Focus. Zack Polanski has launched the Green Party’s local election campaign with a sharp attack on the government’s housing record. Speaking in Lewisham, he accused ministers of failing to deliver affordable and social homes, and called for rent controls in London. The Greens are buoyed by a recent by-election win in Gorton and Denton, which has lifted the party to a record number of MPs. Polanski said upcoming local elections could reflect a wider shift, describing the contest as a battle between the Greens and Reform UK. He argued both Labour and the Conservatives risk losing support as smaller parties gain ground across England. The Greens are targeting key London boroughs, aiming to challenge Labour’s dominance in local councils. Polanski also criticised what he called excessive profits by developers, saying he supports building more homes but wants greater focus on affordability and council-led housing.
