Zack Polanski has apologised for sharing a social media post condemning the actions of police officers who arrested the suspect in the Golders Green attack.
The Green Party leader had reposted a message on X accusing officers of “repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was already incapacitated by Taser”.
In a statement on Friday, Polanski apologised for “sharing a tweet in haste”, adding that he should not have commented on the police response via social media.
Sir Keir Starmer branded the decision to share the post “disgraceful”, in a interview recorded before Polanski’s apology.
He added that in the circumstances, you could understand why the officers acted in the way that they did.
