Green Executive Rejects Polanski Request to Delay Conference for Byelection

The Green Party executive refused Zack Polanski's request to postpone the 2 October Brighton conference to focus on the 8 October Holborn and St Pancras byelection, where Polanski seeks Keir Starmer's former seat. Running a 3,000-person conference alongside the campaign will stretch staff and attention, and the outcome will shape perceptions of his authority.
