Zack Polanski has just brilliantly answered his critics

Green Party leader Zack Polanski just got serious on the economy. Not just on substance. His 32-minute speech at the New Economics Foundation on Wednesday 18 March saw a change in tone.
“Our fiscal framework is hypersensitive to market movements, and this creates policy uncertainty that then fuels the very market jitters it was there to supposedly prevent” is one phrase that stood out for me. There was lots of talk of productivity and fiscal multipliers.
This was Zack answering his critics. He can do the heavyweight economics. https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026/0 ... lxradbj9CQ
