Today, we delve into the upcoming Holborn and St Pancras by-election, where Green leader Zack Polanski is running. We explore the risks and potential rewards of a resurgent Labour's vote for him, and what could happen if he underperforms.
Laura and Paddy also discuss:
- The Green Party conference currently taking place.
- A controversial row within the party regarding its position on Israel.
- Rising diesel prices exceeding £2 per litre in the UK for the first time, and the geopolitical factors behind this trend.
