The comeback is 'yawn, old news, is that the best you've got?' and 'the establishment's scared of Zack and debating the ishoos.'

If Jamie Driscoll in the Canary says Zack's an economics heavyweight, who are we to question this truth?
Zack Polanski has just brilliantly answered his critics
Jamie Driscoll

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

What does “our fiscal framework is hypersensitive to markets” even mean?

That we should spend less or spend the same and tax more?

Well indeed. Starmer did indeed have a silly military action law in his 2020 manifesto, but would what we’re doing now even trigger it?

Note the way he just chucks out stuff and says “vote”. Our vote isn’t binding on the US or Iran. How do we vote against oil prices rising?
