Neutral summary
Green Party leader Zack Polanski has confirmed he intends to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election triggered by former prime minister Keir Starmer's resignation. Polanski said he has "lived and worked in this community over many years, I know it well and I love it," and called the race a chance to "make history" by electing London's first Green MP.
