The Green Party of England and Wales leader has revealed he will run for election in London in either Tottenham, Hackney or Walthamstow.
It means Polanski is likely to take on a senior Labour figure such as Tottenham’s David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister, or Hackney’s Dame Meg Hillier, chair of the Treasury committee.
I’m more familiar with hackney north, which is Diane Abbot’s constituency, I didn’t realise there was a hackney south. That looks like a better bet, Diane Abbot seems pretty popular in her constituency from what I can tell.
