Zack Polanski slumps to the worst rating of any national party leader after 'Zionism is racism' row

More than half the public now view the Green leader unfavourably for the first time, with Ipsos putting the figure at 52%, up six points since September. Just 16% see him positively, leaving a net score of minus 36. Among 2024 Labour voters he has crashed from plus seven in April to minus 24. Ipsos's Keiran Pedley said the public had noticed a 'bruising month'.

Even under-35s are deserting him, his net score falling from plus 16 to plus two.

Jewish Greens leader Vivien Lichtenstein has demanded he resign and may quit the party.

Polanski also lost his Holborn and St Pancras by-election bid for a Commons seat.
