Professor Tim Harcourt argues that Zack Polanski’s attempt to attract Islamist voters from Labour to the Greens may have backfired following a disappointing by-election result.

He warns the outcome could leave Polanski vulnerable to a leadership challenge from within his own party.

The political fallout highlights tensions over the Greens’ electoral strategy and the battle for influence in British politics.

Harcourt, host of The Airport Economist on Ticker, explains how the result could strengthen Labour while exposing divisions within the Green Party.
