Green Party leader Zack Polanski has issued an apology after facing criticism from the head of the Metropolitan Police for sharing a social media post that criticised the police response to the Golders Green terror attack.
The incident, which occurred on Friday 01 May 2026, saw Polanski amplify a message that questioned the actions of law enforcement during the attack. The Met Police commissioner publicly condemned the post, prompting Polanski to retract and apologise.
In a statement, Polanski said: 'I deeply regret sharing that post. It was a mistake and I apologise unreservedly to the police and the victims.' He added that he had full confidence in the Metropolitan Police's handling of the attack.
The Golders Green terror attack, which took place earlier this week, has shocked the nation. Authorities have praised the rapid response of emergency services, which prevented further casualties.
Polanski's apology comes amid heightened tensions over public discourse following the attack. Political figures from across the spectrum have called for unity and support for the police.
