Thought this was a great interview. Zack, in a move almost unheard of amongst British politicians, managed to sound like a sensible, normal, intelligent person! And amazing for the Greens to get that "big political interview" slot on the PM show the day after the budget!
Radio 4 PM: “Green Party leader Zack Polanski gives us his view on the budget - and his plans for the future.”
