The new Green Party leader will get an 'in-depth' interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg after a slot from the party's conference was cancelled

The Greens complained after a planned interview with its new leader Polanski from the party’s conference was cancelled in the days before Kuenssberg’s Sunday show on 5 October.

A Green Party spokesperson said: “Every political party Leader other than Zack Polanski was given a slot on Laura Kuenssberg during their Party Conference. Aside from the generous slots given to Labour and Conservative Leaders, Reform UK’s Nigel Farage had a nine-minute interview and Ed Davey a seven-minute slot.

And I'm sure the interview won't have any loaded questions that scream anti-Green bias at all

Tbh, I kinda hope there are. I've been impressed at Polanski's performance on both a loaded QT panel and being interviewed by arch-twat Piers Morgan so I hope they do grill him and I hope he calls them out on it.

True, I do also think he does well in the face of things like that. You're right, it may actually turn out in his favour if he can take them in his stride, which is a very welcome change. I feel like the only other public figure on the UK left I've seen do really well with that is Mick Lynch
