Zack Polanski to be Interviewed by BBC's Laura Kuenssberg
Zack Polanski, Green Party leader in England and Wales, will be given an in-depth interview with Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, 19 October.
This follows accusations from Green Party supporters that the BBC has shown anti-green bias. The Greens noted that Kuenssberg interviewed every other political leader at their party conferences.
The BBC initially cancelled Polanski's interview at the Green Party conference, citing "overlapping party conferences" and news of the Manchester synagogue attack as reasons.
"I'm Jewish. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their conference."
Polanski tweeted this on 5 October during his party's conference, highlighting the perceived bias.
The interview has now been rescheduled amid complaints.
