Green leader Zack Polanski criticises Nigel Farage, describing him as a “grifter,” amid reported by-election disruption. Coverage highlights political tensions around the by-election and Polanski’s comments as he responds to Farage’s actions and the situation developing around the contest.
Separate reporting notes that the Green Party and other parties confirm they will not field candidates in the by-election. The decision means the contest proceeds without Greens participating, alongside the other parties that have similarly withdrawn or decided not to stand. The specific reasons for the withdrawal are not detailed in the excerpts provided, but the reporting consistently frames the by-election as involving instability or “chaos.”
Overall, the sources align on two points: Polanski publicly attacks Farage in the context of the by-election, and multiple parties—including the Greens—confirm they are not standing in the race. The reports do not provide further details in the supplied text about the by-election’s jurisdiction, timing, or the remaining candidates.
